Ingredients
- 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint or cilantro
Instructions
- Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and set over a bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the strainer and let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight until thick and crumbly.
- Transfer the drained yogurt (which should have a feta-like texture) to a bowl.
- Add salt, pepper, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. Gently fold to combine, being careful not to overmix.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
Tips
- For a vegan version, use thick coconut yogurt and drain as directed.
- This topping can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Sprinkle over dal, rice bowls, or roasted vegetables for a creamy finish.
