Ingredients
- 1 ¼ teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1 large red chili pepper or 3 small bird’s eye chili peppers, minced
- ½ cup unsweetened nondairy yogurt cashew, coconut, Greek, soy, or oat
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 small lemon zest and juice
- Fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over high. Add a few drops of water and they should sizzle when the pan is ready. Or heat a drizzle of oil instead. Add cumin seeds and red chili pepper. Toast them for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Transfer the yogurt and tahini to a medium bowl. Add the toasted seeds with red chili peppers.
- Add lemon zest and juice. Mix well to combine, adding water until the desired consistency. Garnish with cilantro.
Notes
- For oil-free, heat the skillet until it is hot enough for the water to sizzle before adding the cumin seeds.
