Dahi Ki Tikhari (Spicy Yogurt Dip)

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