Can you use Greek yoghurt in a curry?

Yes! As I was reading through tips on cooking Indian-inspired cuisine with Greek yogurt, I saw a tip that you should whisk together a little bit of your water with the yogurt, and make sure your heat is on low when you add it.

Ingredients

– 2 tbsp oil or butter – 1 ½ onions diced – 3-4 cloves garlic minced – ½ inch ginger grated – 2 tbsp curry powder – ½ tsp red pepper flakes – 2 tbsp tomato paste – ¾ c water – 1 5.3 oz container greek yogurt plain, non-fat – 1 lb chicken diced into ½-1 inch thick pieces – 1-2 red peppers sliced – 1 tbsp sriracha or less – ½ lime juiced – lime wedge + cilantro to garnish, optional – rice, of choice cooked

How to make curry with Greek yogurt

– follow the instructions on your rice of choice, and cook it accordingly. – in your large frying pan, heat up 2 tbsp of oil for about 3 minutes. add in your diced onions. sauté for about 4-5 minutes over medium-low heat. – once your onions are just about translucent, add in your minced garlic and grated ginger. mix together and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. – add in your curry powder and red pepper flakes. stir until your curry powder is combined and you have a rich orange color. mix in your tomato paste and until well combined. cook for about 3 minutes. – bring your heat to low, and add in your greek yogurt and water. bring that to a simmer, and once that is simmering, add in your diced chicken breasts. – bring your heat to medium-low and cook for about 7 minutes. once 7 minutes pass, add in your red peppers, sriracha and lime. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes (depending on how thick your chicken is). – check to make sure your chicken is fully cooked, then once it is, serve it over rice and enjoy!
