MINT-YOGURT DIP

This is a simple recipe but it surely is a flavour enhancer when served beside fries or bbq or baked stuff. A super healthy one too. It is quite popular in restaurants here which are always serving Kebabs and grills.

It requires only yogurt mixed with herbs and beaten and of course the sourness, the spice and the salt. Besides Yogurt, Mint is the main flavor that is required.

This is a tip for the health watcher -Try using non-fat Greek yogurt instead of the full fat yogurt– you’ll get the same rich texture and all the tang, but none of the fat that comes from the full fat version. Don't overdo the tangy lime flavor here because Greek yogurt has a bit of tartness in it.

Plus, Greek yogurt is full of protein, and some have live-active cultures, which are great for digestive health.

INGREDIENTS:
 
1 cup Mint leaves
½ cup Coriander leaves
1 cup Yogurt, beaten
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp. Lemon juice
2 Green chilies
Salt
¼ tbsp. roasted Cumin powder(optional)

HOW TO MAKE:

1) Beat the herbs, chillies and the garlic cloves in the blender with some water, salt and cumin powder until they are a paste.

2) Add them to the beaten yogurt and pour in the lime juice. Check for taste and serve.
