INGREDIENTS
1 1/2-2 cups plain thick yogurt
about 8 plum tomatoes
1-2 teaspoon roasted and ground cumin seeds
1/2 -1 t ground black pepper
cayenne pepper, as desired
salt, as desired
DIRECTIONS:
Thickened yogurt is easily made by letting yogurt sit in a colander lined with cheese cloth. The reason is because the tomatoes are naturally juicy and thickened yogurt makes the end result less runny.
1. Blanch the tomatoes and peel off their skins when cool. Chop into bite size pieces.
2. Stir yogurt until smooth; add the cumin, cayenne and or pepper as desired and stir well.
3. Add the tomatoes and salt. Stir gently until tomatoes are well covered with the yogurt mixture.
4. Stir once more before offering. Garnish with a dash of fresh parsley.
VARIATION: Toss in some soaked and sprouted chickpeas. Parsley or coriander leaves can be chopped and also added as a garnish.
