Selvi, what is Laban?

My diet today:

BF: Arisiyum paruppu saadham-medium serving(MS) with low fat curd & tea

Lunch: 1 roti, small serving(SS) rice, green moong dhal(SS), rasam, carrot poriyal(Large serving-LS),curd

Evening: tea + 1 rusk

Laban is drinking yogurt. It's either diluted yogurt (which will be like moor) or its milk with yogurt cultures. Usually it's the later.

Unlike "moor", some laban don't "cool" the body. They actually add heat. Though there are "zeera laban" and some very diluted, watery labaan's that have cooling properties.

Laban in some dialects of arabic also means yogurt.

Anyway, for diet, laban isn't a great idea. Coz commercially, they are cultured full cream milk. Perhaps low fat labaan is made out of skimmed milk but then that's a waste of money.
