Cumin Yogurt

When choosing yogurt, it’s best to pick a thick Greek yogurt with 4 to 5% milk fat. If using homemade yogurt, which tends to have more liquid, strain the yogurt through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth for a couple of hours to extract the whey. The resulting cumin yogurt should be thick and creamy but with a pourable consistency. Coconut yogurt can be used as a dairy-free option; however, it may need the juice of a lime or lemon to add tanginess.

DISCOVER CHAAT MOTHER SAUCES.

The three mother sauces of chaat are cilantro chutney, cumin yogurt, and tamarind chutney, but two out of the three can make up a delicious chaat. For the first time, my suggestion would be to make all three sauces and enjoy different chaats over the course of a week. Together these three sauces form the holy trinity that dress a chaat to perfection, but feel free to take it into your hands and improvise.
