Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt 250 g Note 1, full-fat
- 2 tablespoons mint Note 2, chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 garlic large, more to taste, clove
- ¼ teaspoon cumin Note 3
- ¼ teaspoon Coriander
- ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes more to taste Note 4
- ¼ teaspoon salt more to taste, fine sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Chop the mint very finely. Grate the garlic
- Mix Greek yogurt, mint, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, red chili flakes, about ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Stir well.
- Adjust the taste with more salt and pepper.
- Rest for at least 15 minutes before serving so that the flavors will have a bit of time to meld.
Notes
- It’s preferable to use full-fat yogurt. However, if you decide to use low-fat, which is more acidic than full fat, you might need to adjust the taste with a pinch of sugar or a tiny amount of honey.
- Use any other fresh herbs to make this sauce.
- The sauce is still excellent if you only spice it with salt and pepper.
- Use red chili flakes to taste. Cayenne pepper is a good substitute, always to taste.
