Yogur natural, leche desnatada
Plain skim milk yogurt is an unflavored, fat-free cultured dairy product with a density of 1.036 g/ml. One US cup weighs approximately 245 g and one tablespoon about 15.3 g. Without added sugars or flavorings, it delivers a clean, tangy taste that works in both sweet and savory applications. It is widely used as a marinade base for tandoori chicken, as a lighter substitute for sour cream in dips and dressings, and as the liquid component in whole-grain pancake and waffle batters where its lactic acid activates baking soda for lift.

La medida por volumen varía porque asentado, compactación y textura cambian la cantidad real dentro de la misma cuchara o taza. Si los gramos parecen raros, suele ser un efecto físico y no un error. Repite el mismo método y confirma con peso.

Lácteos
Dairy products (milk, cream, yogurt, cheese) have different fat and water percentages. Volume hides these differences; weight keeps sauces, batters, and doughs consistent.
- La grasa modifica la densidad: elige la leche/crema con el % correcta.
- En quesos, rallado vs en cubos cambia el volumen; mejor pesar en gramos.
FAQ
- How does plain skim milk yogurt differ from Greek yogurt in density and weight?
- Plain skim milk yogurt (1.036 g/ml, ~245 g/cup) is thinner and less dense than Greek yogurt (~1.06-1.08 g/ml, ~250-255 g/cup) because Greek yogurt is strained to remove whey. If substituting Greek yogurt for plain skim yogurt by volume, the recipe will receive about 5-10 g more mass per cup.
- Why is plain skim yogurt preferred for tandoori marinades?
- Plain skim yogurt's lactic acid (pH ~4.3) tenderizes proteins without adding fat, which would inhibit surface browning. At 1.036 g/ml, 100 g of yogurt provides consistent coating coverage. Its neutral, unflavored profile allows spices like turmeric, cumin, and chili to dominate the flavor.
- Can I use plain skim yogurt to replace buttermilk in baking by weight?
- Yes. Both have similar densities (yogurt 1.036 g/ml, buttermilk ~1.03 g/ml), so a gram-for-gram substitution works well. Plain skim yogurt is slightly thicker, so thin it with a splash of milk if the recipe needs a pourable consistency. The acidity is comparable, so leavening reactions with baking soda will be similar.
