Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup curd yogurt
  • Muslin cloth for straining
  • ½ tsp cumin powder
  • ½ tsp chaat masala
  • ¼ tsp red chilli powder
  • ¼ tsp coriander powder
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ tsp lemon juice Optional

Method
 

  1. Place the curd in a muslin cloth, tie it, and let it strain for 2–3 hours (or overnight in the fridge) until thick and creamy.
  2. Add the hung curd to a bowl and whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Add cumin powder, chaat masala, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and salt.
  4. Mix everything thoroughly until the dip becomes creamy and evenly flavored.
  5. Taste and adjust salt or add lemon juice if you prefer a slightly tangy flavor.
  6. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before serving for best flavor.

Notes

Use fresh curd for the best flavor—slightly sour curd can make the dip too tangy.
Always strain the curd properly to get a thick, creamy hung curd texture.
For a smoother consistency, whisk the hung curd well before adding spices.
Adjust spice levels based on your taste—start light and build gradually.
Add a few drops of lemon juice only if needed to control tanginess.
Chill the dip for 10–15 minutes before serving for better flavor.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1–2 days.
