About the recipe

I always keep on experimenting with ingredients in my kitchen. Most of the time, it fails. But still, I love doing all these higgledy-piggledy (ulta-pulta) things at my place since I am the boss in my office (kitchen, hehe....)

One day, we had a bbq party with friends, and I decided to try a new yogurt mayo dip recipe although, I had prepared my popular green chutney ready for backup.

But, to my surprise, everyone at the party liked this. We tried this dip with bbq grilled chicken, veggies and fish, and it was yum! What a day it was! Super excited with lovely comments.........

Mostly, we think that snacks go well with tomato-based sauces only. But, the yogurt-mayo combination in this dip goes well with almost every snack.

I'm sure that once you give it a taste, it’s definitely on your recipe list.

So, I decided to share my new but tried and tested all-purpose dip recipe with all my digital friends looking forward to new sauce recipes. I hope you will love it as much as my other friends do!

Ingredients for all-purpose dipping sauce

You need only a few ingredients for this creamy savoury dip and less than 5 minutes. So, get out a bowl and the following things:

Yogurt: 1 cup (200g) I prefer full cream milk yogurt. It gives a good creamy texture.

Mayonnaise: ½ cup (100g) - I use dill pickled flavoured mayonnaise. It tastes super! Use flavoured mayonnaise only.

Mint Paste: 1 tablespoon- Seriously! No one can beat the aroma and flavour of freshly ground mint leaves.

Sugar: ½ teaspoon - Optional

Salt: 1 teaspoon

Lemon: 1 tablespoon. To add tanginess and balance the flavour, don't skip this!

Oregano: 1 tablespoon - To enhance the taste and garnish.

Storage

• Refrigerate this yogurt mayo dip for longer shelf life.
  
• Do not store it for more than a week due to the yogurt in it.

Serving Suggestions

You can serve this yogurt-mayo dip for multi-purposes like with

• Salad
• Pasta
• Snacks
• Crackers
• Paratha/roti
• Rice

Variations

You are free to experiment with the ingredients. I have not tried this but you can explore these options also.

• Try aioli instead of mayonnaise.
  
• Replace the dill pickle flavour mayonnaise with some other of your choice.
  
• You can try another fresh herb also.
  
• If you are fond of tangi food, surely replace lemon juice with vinegar.

Tips

1. Do not store this all-purpose dipping sauce for more than a week.
   
2. Always refrigerate it. If it’s too cold to serve, keep the required quantity at room temperature before serving.
   
3. Add a minimum amount of water to grind mint leaves to make a paste.
   
4. Add sugar and salt carefully, as mayonnaise already has in it.
   
5. Limit the mint leaves to 6-7 max as more than this will make the dip a little bitter.
