Mishti doi (Bengali: মিষ্টি দই) is a fermented sweet dahi (yogurt) originating from the Bogra District in Bangladesh[1][2] and is a very popular dessert throughout the country.[3] It is also consumed in the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, Assam and Odisha, with similar dishes branching off of it such as the Nabadwip-er lal doi of Kolkata. The yogurt desert is made with milk and sugar/jaggery. It differs from plain yogurt due to techniques involved in its preparation.

Mishti doi is prepared by boiling milk until it is slightly thickened, sweetening it with sugar, either gura (brown sugar) or khejur gura (date molasses), and allowing the milk to ferment overnight.[4] Earthenware is always used as the container for making mitha dahi due to the gradual evaporation of water through its porous walls not only further thickens the yoghurt,[5] but also produces the right temperature for the growth of the culture.
