Notes
- Yogurt: It’s preferable to use full-fat yogurt. However, if you decide to use low-fat, which is more acidic than full-fat, you might need to adjust the taste with a pinch of sugar or a tiny amount of honey.
- Use any other fresh herbs to make this sauce.
- Spices: The sauce is still excellent if you only spice it with salt and pepper.
- Use red chili flakes to taste. Cayenne pepper is a good substitute, always to taste.
