Dahi Ki Tikhari (Spicy Yogurt Dip)

This is Kathiyawadi Gujarati dish which goes very well with Bjari ka Rotlla (millet flat bread). However I do not have bajri ka rotla ready all the time so I enjoy with regular wheat flour roti. 


Ingredients 

Yogurt - Thick - 2 cups 
Garlic cloves - 2
Onion, half - sliced (optional)
Water - 2 tbsp to make spice paste
Vegetable oil 
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp 
Hing (asafetida) - few dashes
Salt to taste 
Spice mix
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Roasted cumin seed powder - 1/2 tsp 
Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp 
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp


Method
  1. First step is to strain the yogurt to get thick yogurt 
  2. Mix all the dry spices with water to make a paste 
  3. Add hing followed by chopped garlic and sliced onions
  4. Next add spice paste and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat and add thick yogurt. 
  6. Mix gently and now add salt to taste. 
  7. Pair this side dish with bajri rotla (bajra ki roti) or just with anything.
