Notes
Flavour Variations
There are so many easy variations to this delicious Garlic dipping sauce.
Sour Cream: Enhance the creaminess by replacing 1/4 - 1/2 cup of yogurt with sour cream. The result is a deliciously creamy twist on the classic sauce.
Thinner with Natural Yogurt: Substitute the greek yogurt with natural yogurt, and enjoy a lighter version of the sauce.
Fresh Herbs: Elevate the flavours with a variety of fresh herbs like mint, chopped dill, or parsley. Each herb brings its unique touch to the sauce.
Transformation: Add grated cucumber and plenty of dill to the sauce, and voilà - it becomes a delightful tzatziki! Simply remove the garlic, throw in some diced cucumber, spices, and fresh coriander for an Indian cucumber raita.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of smoked paprika, kashmiri red chilli powder, diced green chilli, or jalapenos for a spicy twist.
