This is a very popular Greek dip , known as Tzatziki. I have been meaning to try it for a while now, turned out surprisingly creamy and delish. Omit the cheese and use low fat yoghurt - you have guilt free indulgence. Originally best with warm pita bread, this can be served with good ol' chips or veggies or as a side with any grilled dish.
Ingredients (makes a medium sized bowl)
2 cups hung curd (Read here how to make hung curd)
1 cucumber, grated
1/2 cup finely chopped dill (locally known as 'shepu' or 'soya')
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1/4 cup grated cheese
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Whisk the curd till smooth and free of lumps. Then whisk in all the remaining ingredients till mixed together. Transfer to a bowl and serve chilled.
