Note

For a milder heat, reduce the ground red pepper to 1/4 teaspoon.

Use plain, full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor stability.

This sauce will thicken when chilled. Stir in a teaspoon of water or milk if needed before serving.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Discard if separation occurs or if it smells sour.

For a fresh variation, add finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro just before serving.
