I live in Pakistan, where I can't find a single outlet for live buttermilk/cultured buttermilk. All I can find is overpriced powders. I've seen a lot of posts saying to use some acid (vinegar or lemon juice) along with milk, and letting it curdle, to create buttermilk. Does this work? All I want to do is marinate chicken, I saw a recipe ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFVBd3tvFnw this video in particular), that i want to follow, but I don't know about the buttermilk. Edit: Thank you for all the help guys! Plain fresh yogurt (dahi) is easily available here, a lot of you suggested using that with some milk! I"ll look into making buttermilk at home, since I get my milk raw and boil it myself. Often it ferments, and I get yogurt cultures at home, so I'll try this method of making buttermilk some day as well. submitted by /u/SubstantialLanguage5
