The pH and titratable acidity were acceptable of all combinations. Dahi of 4 to 2.5% fat exhibited firm body and texture, and well set appearance. The lactococci and lactobacilli counts varied with the fat percentage of dahi. Sensory panellist's score decreased with fat percentage but all the dahi samples with 4–2.5% fat were palatably acceptable.
