As promised in an earlier post here is a recipe for my yogurt dip.
It is actually a cross between "mast-o khiar" (an Iranian Yogurt dip) and an Indian Raita.
You need;
200ml Natural Yogurt
Fresh Mint
Fresh Coriander
1/2 small Cucumber
Turmeric
Lime Juice
Salt and Pepper
Finely chop the mint and coriander (i use about 6 large mint leaves and about the same coriander but adjust to your tastes)
Finely dice the cucumber and put in a bowel with the herbs about 1/2tsp of Turmeric (more if you like) and a few dashes of lime juice (again to your taste).
Mix well then add the yogurt and season.
Leave for about 30min in the fridge for the flavours to develop.
Goes perfectly with Kebab, Curry and even as a dip with bread.
Variants :
Replace the Mint and Coriander with Dill.
Replace Cucumber with red Onion (tip. before adding yogurt add a little salt and leave for about 15min, the salt and lime juice will chemically cook the onion and take the rawness off)
