Hung curd and garlic dip is a very very easy dip or spread recipe you can serve along with chips. It can be used as a sandwich spread too. This dip is a perfect party dip recipe with a distinct flavour of garlic and the creaminess of hung curd.
Do you guys remember our curry nation talk’s first episode? well, I told you about my friend aarti and This dip recipe is shared by her. She shared this hung curd and garlic recipe with me 2 years back.
This recipe came to the rescue a week back when I was having my regular “budhani” potato chips and was thinking about making some cheesy dip. I opened my refrigerator and realized that I have no ingredients to make a cheesy dip. I actually prepared hung curd to make some last batch of mango shrikhand. Well, I dropped that plan and tried this garlic dip.
A dip or dipping sauce is a common condiment for many types of food. Dips are used to add flavor or texture to a food, such as pita bread, dumplings, crackers etc. Indian chutneys are also one type of dipping sauce.
before moving further, I would suggest checking this detailed post on making hung curd at home. You can even use Greek yogurt instead of hung curd. The process of making this dip is very easy and minimal ingredient is required. I have used fresh garlic here but you can use garlic powder too.
