Raita (Indian Yogurt Dish) January 29, 2007

Filed under: Appetizers, Dinner, Ethnic, Sides, Vegetarian, Yogurt — aframeglamour @ 7:11 pm

Ingredients
2 C. Plain Yogurt (I used fat free)
2 t. Lemon Juice
1/4 t. Pepper
1/2 t. Chili Powder (I used Berbere)
1/2 t. Garam Masala
1 t. Ginger Paste (I used the kind you buy in a tube in the produce section)

Method
1. Mix together and chill. Serve with Nan and Indian food.

I made this for our Break an Egg Cooking Club get together where we made Indian food. It works as a side with all kinds of Indian food, and I prefer to eat it with chutney. It takes 2 seconds to make!

 

Tsatsiki (Greek Cucumber Yogurt Dip) December 13, 2006

Filed under: Appetizers, Cucumber, Ethnic, Salad Dressing, Vegetarian, Yogurt — aframeglamour @ 12:07 am

Ingredients
1 Small Container of Plain Yogurt (Drain off any liquid)
1 Clove Garlic (Minced)
2 T. Olive Oil
1 Cucumber (Seeded and Grated)
1 t. Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper

Method
1. Mix together and let sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

This is really good with hunks of bread as a dip, and it’s also the topping for Gyros. Bryan calls it “The Greek Ranch Dressing.” You could use it in place of a creamy salad dressing…it’s really yummy and very good for you! I use nonfat yogurt and it tastes just as good.
