Cumin Yogurt Sauce: Mix in a Pinch of Powder Evenly

Before cooking for one

Start with an ingredient you already have, then check the recipe's full ingredient list, quantities and equipment before choosing your meal. For a solo meal, use its one-serving quantities.

This ingredient list uses a pinch of ground cumin. Using whole seeds in the same way will give the sauce a different texture. The yogurt is also assumed to be unsweetened; sweetened fruit yogurt will taste different. Prepare the half-pinch of salt and the pinch of cumin separately, as they are different amounts.

Ingredients for 1 serving of sauce

• Unsweetened yogurt: 1 and 1/2 household eating spoons
• Lemon juice: 1/4 household eating spoon
• Salt: 1/2 pinch
• Ground cumin: 1 pinch

This is written based on the ingredient list for 1 serving in the app. Household eating spoons and pinches are informal measures and have not been converted to exact grams or milliliters. Check the package sizes and cup capacities shown in parentheses as well.

Instructions

• Step 1. Measure out each ingredient according to the amounts in the ingredient list.
• Step 2. Put the prepared ingredients in a small dipping dish or cup, then stir evenly, scraping the bottom and sides.
• Step 3. Serve with half of the finished sauce to start. Taste a bite, then add more if you like. If serving it with several sauces, use a little of each.

If the powder has clumped on one side

In a small dipping dish, stir the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and cumin together, scraping the bottom. If you sprinkle only cumin on the surface and serve it as is, the first bite may have a concentrated spice flavor. The ingredient list contains no oil, so there is no need to add oil when mixing. Scrape the yogurt from the sides of the dish and mix it in evenly too.

Serve with roasted vegetables

One option is to serve a small amount alongside roasted tofu or vegetables. If the spice flavor is unfamiliar, try it on a piece of food first. Using half the sauce to start, rather than pouring it over everything, makes it easier to balance the food and the flavor. Adding more cumin is not what determines whether the sauce turns out well.
