Spicy Yogurt Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the yogurt, buttermilk, cilantro, lime zest and juice, cumin and serrano chile in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil.

Steps:

• In a small serving bowl, stir together the cilantro, lemon juice, cumin, yogurt and chili sauce. Chill for at least one hour, or until needed.

Steps:

• Saute the onions and chiles in the oil until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cumin and coriander and saute for a minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the tomato and flour and cook for 2 minutes. Finally, stir in the yogurt. Heat the sauce thoroughly, but do not allow it to boil or the yogurt will curdle. Add salt to taste and serve

Steps:

• Put fish in a shallow baking dish, pour milk over it, and chill, covered, turning over once, 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together pistachios and cornmeal in a shallow bowl.
• Remove fish from milk, letting excess drip off. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in cornmeal-pistachio mixture. Transfer to a clean plate as coated.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté fish, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.
• While fish cooks, stir together all ingredients for spicy yogurt.
• Serve fish with spicy yogurt on the side.

Steps:

• Make the sauce a day ahead, or at the least, a few hours ahead to allow the flavors to properly meld together.
• Add all the ingredients for the sauce into a food processor and mix until well blended. If you don't have a food processor, just chop as finely as you can. Place in a sealed container in your refrigerator.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute the zucchini and garlic in the olive oil.
• In a cast iron pan, cook the lamb with the onions until the lamb is brown and the onions are soft.
• Add the zucchini and garlic to the lamb, mix well.
• Serve with the Spicy Yogurt Sauce over top. You can also serve it on rice, if you like.

Steps:

• Drain cucumber in a fine sieve for 20 minutes; press to extract liquid.
• Meanwhile, if using plain yogurt, drain in cheesecloth placed in a sieve, 20 minutes.
• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium high heat; add curry powder and cook until bubbly, about 45 seconds.
• Transfer to a bowl and let cool; stir in cucumber, yogurt, chutney, ginger, cilantro, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Refrigerate 1 hour; adjust seasonings.
• Store up to 3 days refrigerated.

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, make a few slashes in each drumstick. Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl, season to taste. Add the drumsticks, rubbing the mixture well into the meat. If you have time, cover and chill for 30 mins.
• Remove the drumsticks from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Cook them on the barbecue for 20-25 mins, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
