A dip is an accompaniment which not only makes your dish complete but also enhances the flavor of the dish served. It can also be used to balance the taste of the dish. There can be many variations for a dip from a soothing dip for a hot and chilly starter to a fiery hot dip for bland chips or vice-a-versa. Here is one of my favourite dips. Its simple, healthy and full of flavour.

ReplyDeleteSounds yummy but what is hung curd?
ReplyDeletethanks Andrea :) .... Hung curd is basically thick curd/yoghurt tied in a muslin cloth or put in a strainer to drain excess water from the curd/yoghurt. After the excess water is drained, it gives a nice and creamy texture and is a good low fat alternative for cream. Keep visiting and Happy Cooking !!!!!
