A refreshing and simple dish of thick, creamy yogurt topped with a warm, garlicky tomato sauce infused with butter and paprika. The contrast of cold yogurt and hot sauce makes this uniquely satisfying.

Ingredients

500g thick yogurt
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp paprika
Salt to taste
100ml water

Instructions

1 Divide cold yogurt among individual serving bowls.
2 Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
3 Add minced garlic and cook for thirty seconds until fragrant.
4 Stir in tomato paste, paprika, salt, and water, cooking for five minutes until thickened.
5 Immediately pour the hot sauce over the cold yogurt.
6 Serve at once while the temperature contrast is at its most dramatic.

Did You Know?

The thermal contrast between cold yogurt and hot sauce is considered essential — serving both at the same temperature is a culinary faux pas.
