Yogurt sauce
Yogurt sauce is a versatile and healthy condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is made by combining yogurt, lemon juice, and spices. The sauce is thought to have originated in India, where it is a popular accompaniment to curries and rice dishes.
Yogurt sauce is a healthy alternative to mayonnaise or other cream-based sauces. It is lower in fat and calories, and contains probiotics that can boost gut health. Yogurt sauce can be used as a dip, spread, or dressing. It is perfect for adding flavor and creaminess to salads, wraps, and sandwiches.
Yogurt sauce recipes vary depending on the region and culture. Indian yogurt sauces often contain curry spices, while Middle Eastern versions may be flavored with garlic, mint, or dill. Greek yogurt sauces tend to be thicker and less tangy than other varieties.
