This garlicky yogurt-based dip topped with
tempered spices will excite your tastebuds and alight your senses. Cooling,
lemon-infused yogurt is complimented by toasted organic fenugreek seeds and
spicy flavors.
The textural contrast between smooth
yogurt and crispy spices makes this a playful dish to enjoy. Drizzling spice
infused oil atop the yogurt transforms a few humble ingredients into a pretty,
eye-catching appetizer. Paired with fresh vegetables, it is perfect for light
summer snacking. The simplicity in this dish makes it a joy to prepare.
Mix together yogurt, garlic, chopped cucumber
and lemon juice in a bowl. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the
oil.
Add organic fenugreek seeds, cayenne pepper and
asafetida. Remove from heat immediately and allow to cool to room temperature.
Drizzle cooled oil mixture over top of the
yogurt mixture.
Garnish with some fresh dill.
Serve with fresh vegetables or pita bread for
dipping.
Recipe Note
Crunchy, whole fenugreek seeds
embellish this basic yogurt dip by maximizing the spices flavor, texture and
aroma. The simple cooking method of tempering spices in oil transforms this
easy to make dip into a dressing to be desired.
