A really simple, extremely addictive, & tangy dip which is a great add-on to any menu. Its one of those 'quick to put together', 'nothing can go wrong' sorta recipes, which is a great hit and good for finger food. Read more . For kids I serve it with chips, and always add veggies like steamed broccoli, cucumber sticks,baby carrots, baby corn etc on the side. Every single time I have served this, I have been asked for the recipe. Its hilarious to see people begging to remove it from their sight as it's so addictive. I have to add that the dip is very nutritious when served with veggies! Ingredients:
curd (yogurt) – 250ml |
cream – 1 tbsp (20-30 % fat) |
garlic – 3-4 cloves / finely chopped |
green chili – 1-2 / finely chopped |
juice of 1 lemon (increase or decrease as required) |
fresh coriander leaves – 2-3 tbsp/ finely chopped |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Hang the curd (yogurt) in cheesecloth for 2-3 hours till all the whey drips out. If you have Greek yogurt, then you may not need to hang it.
2. Whisk the curd till smooth. Add the cream and lemon juice and whisk well again.(Omit the cream for a fat-free version; the dip still tastes great)
3. Add all the remaining ingredients, and mix in well with a spoon. Adjust seasoning (lemon juice, salt etc).
4. Put in a bowl, garnish with a sprig of fresh coriander.
5. Serve with chips, crudites (steamed vegetables like broccoli, baby corn, cheese sticks, baby carrots etc)
6. Note:Sometimes I include it as a sauce in a grilled chicken/cottage cheese (paneer) wrap as well; in which case, I saute some sliced onions, bell peppers & capsicum to the wrap with the chicken/paneer & top it off with the dip. Adds a real burst of flavour!
