Mint Yoghurt
Mint-flavoured yoghurt is a great accompaniment to any spicy
Indian meal.
Ingredients
- 400g of natural yoghurt
- 15-20 mint leaves, washed
- Juice of 3 small-medium limes
- 5-10 Coriander leaves
- 1.5tsp Cumin seeds
Instructions
-
Tip the yoghurt into a mixing bowl, and stir with a fork
until the texture becomes smooth and runny.
-
Wash and loosely chop the mint leaves, fresher the better.
Place the leaves in a mortar, and lightly bruise the leaves.
-
Puncture the limes with a fork or knife, and set in a
bowl. Microwave the limes for 20-30 seconds on high. This
will help get more of the juice out of the limes.
-
Add the cumin seeds and coriander to the mortar, and grind
until the seeds are powdered. Add the mint, cumin and
coriander mix to the yoghurt, and stir in.
-
Juice the limes, adding about half a lime's worth of juice
at a time to the yoghurt, stirring in until no juice remains
on the surface of the yoghurt. Keep adding the lime juice
to taste.
-
Place the covered mixing bowl in the fridge for 30-90
minutes, during which the flavour of the coriander and
mint will develop. Do not leave too much longer than this,
as the yoghurt will lose its original kick.

of kick, and a scent that will fill the kitchen long after you've
finished dinner..
