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.
