The word "curd" has different meanings in different versions of English. In Indian English, it generally means yoghurt (dahi). The word "naan" is used throughout central and south Asia for various types of bread, generally made of wheat and yoghurt, leavened with yeast, and cooked in a tandoor (clay oven).
A few of the other answers incorrectly state that curd or yoghurt is the same thing as sour (or soured) milk. Sour milk results from different bacteria than yoghurt or from adding a souring agent, such as lemon juice or white vinegar. Sour milk and yoghurt do not have the same flavor or consistency. Like yoghurt, sour cream, buttermilk, and other fermented dairy products, sour milk is often used in baking to improve the texture and keeping properties of baked products, or, in conjunction with baking soda, as a leavener. Be aware that pasteurized milk does not sour naturally, but just goes bad.

Just use plain Yogurt. Not those with flavourings or sugar. Infact, you can use yogurt to make Bathura, tandoori chicken...etc :)
