Tips:

  • Choose the right yogurt: Use plain, whole-milk yogurt for the creamiest and tangiest sauce. Greek yogurt can also be used, but it will result in a thicker sauce.
  • Fresh ginger is key: Fresh ginger provides the best flavor for this sauce. If you only have ground ginger, use half the amount.
  • Adjust the heat level to your liking: If you prefer a milder sauce, use less ginger. If you like it spicy, add more.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings: Once you've combined all the ingredients, taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
  • Use the sauce immediately or store it for later: The sauce can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to use, stir the sauce until smooth.
