Update: A new brand of yogurt available in the market is so creamy, mild (not sour at all) and delicious that I can say that the inspiration for this dip is wholly from the yogurt. When something tastes so delicious, I always wonder if it is high in fat content and therefore calories, but at 79 calories per 100 g, it is not bad at all. Are you curious to know which one? You’ll find it inside somewhere!
It’s the typical Sunday morning scene. After sleeping in late, picking up the morning papers, reading them (in bed ofcourse) and then lazily stumbling into the kitchen to make a pot of tea is a delightful ritual, aint it?
Ah, forgot to mention another thing about Sunday mornings, a bottle of wine is opened and starts flowing a while after the late tea, making Sunday brunches more creative than any other meal of the week. Haven’t you realised how wine is so important for creativity? It makes me use ingredients, do combinations that my saner self would question….but hey it’s Sunday and stuff like yellow pepper, a ‘ripish’ raw mango, chilli flakes and onions don’t seem too bad for a combination to go into the creamy yogurt!
I had made a spicy, fiery Chettinad style vegetable curry last afternoon for a Saturay night dinner. We ended up heading out to meet some friends last night and the pot of curry was put into the fridge. The curry knew fully well that justice would be done to it, the next morning. This bit of info is not very unrelated to the post….so what’s going to happen with a bunch of unlikely ingredients, a leftover Chettinad curry? Read on to find out…
