Notes

  • Choose the right yogurt: I recommend using plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt. Feel free to use a dairy-free alternative.
  • No oven, no problem: You could also chop the onion and garlic and fry it in a pan with some oil until onion is translucent.
  • Sweeter: If the yogurt sauce is too tart for your liking, you could ad 1 teaspoon of maple syrup to balance out the flavors. 
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
