Ginger Yogurt Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Generously season chicken legs all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium. Arrange chicken legs in pot skin side down (you want them to fit snugly) and cook, lifting up once or twice to let hot fat run underneath, until skin is golden brown and crisp, 10-15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, placing skin side up.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and add head of garlic, cut sides down, and ginger to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until ginger is starting to brown and curl around the edges and garlic is golden, about 4 minutes. Add coriander, cumin, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in turmeric followed by 2 cups yogurt and mix until smooth; season with salt.
• Nestle legs back into pot, skin side up, in a single layer and add water just until legs are almost submerged with skin barely peeking out. Bring to a very gentle simmer, adjusting heat if needed, and cook, uncovered, until meat is very tender and just about falling off the bone, 75-90 minutes (the yogurt will separate and look curdled, which is fine). Let cool 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely grate remaining garlic clove into a small bowl. Add remaining 1 cup yogurt and stir to combine; season with salt and pepper.
• Smear yogurt mixture across a platter and scatter chickpeas over. Carefully transfer chicken legs to platter. Using a large spoon or small ladle, skim off bright yellow fat that has collected on surface of braising liquid and drizzle all over platter (it's okay if some rogue spices make it onto platter). Top with scallions and mint, then squeeze lime wedges over.

Steps:

• Stir together the yogurt, sour cream, vinegar, lemon juice, cucumber, green onion, garlic, feta cheese, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl; cover and chill 8 hours or overnight before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, mint, oil, lime juice, salt and 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Use a rasp grater to finely grate garlic into the bowl. Stir, taste and adjust salt and lime juice as needed. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Mash garlic into a paste (salt helps to add a little traction to the garlic and makes it easier to mash) mix well into yogurt then add remaining ingredients. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving with chicken.

Steps:

• Have ingredients measured and nearby before beginning. Heat oil in a small skillet over high heat. Add mustard seeds. (They will begin popping immediately so have a cover close at hand for escaping seeds.) Cook until popping stops.
• Lower heat, add cumin seeds, and cook until they turn golden, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic for 10 seconds, then ginger for 10 seconds more, and remove from heat. Stir in turmeric, paprika, pepper flakes, and salt. Mix spices and yogurt in a bowl. Chill before serving.

Steps:

• Combine all.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours, but bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine yogurt, marmalade, brown sugar, and lemon juice; mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for several hours to blend flavors. To serve, spoon into 4 dessert dishes.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, saute the onion until tender and starting to brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan heat and allow onion to cool slightly, but remain in the skillet.
• While the onion cooks, stir the cardamom and ginger into the yogurt until well blended.
• Pour the spiced yogurt into the skillet and stir in to the warm onion. Do not put over heat as it will cause the yogurt to separate. The warmth that remains in the skillet and the onions will warm the sauce sufficiently.

Steps:

• In a small food processor make a puree of the herbs, ginger and jalapeno pepper. Mix this into the yogurt and add the scallion and cumin. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and blend in any of the other optional ingredients
• Serve very cold; great against hot steak.

Steps:

• Use double boiler or like me - place a strainer/sieve over a sauce pan of water and place a bowl in the sieve.
• Beat yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks well
• Heat over simmering water, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened, approx 15 min (sauce will become thinner after about 10 min and then thicken again).
• Remove from heat and stir in salt, mustard, pepper and dill/parsley (if using).

Steps:

• Mix yogurt, cilantro, 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon oil, ginger, and garlic in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place fennel seeds and coriander seeds in heavyduty plastic bag. Using mallet, crush seeds. Sprinkle fillets with salt, pepper, and seeds.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fillets, seed side down. Cook until brown, about 3 minutes. Turn over. Cook until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons lime juice. Place fillets on plates. Top with sauce; serve with lime wedges.
