Begin by gathering all your ingredients on the countertop. This will make the preparation process seamless and enjoyable.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, measure out 3/4 cup of whole milk yogurt. This creamy base is the heart of your sauce.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. The olive oil adds richness while the lemon juice brings a delightful tang.
Add 1 tablespoon of minced fresh dill to the mixture. The herb imparts a fresh and aromatic flavor that brightens the sauce.
Using a microplane grater, zest 1 clove of garlic directly into the bowl. This technique ensures the garlic is finely distributed throughout the sauce.
Sprinkle salt and red chili flakes into the mixture according to your taste preference. Start with a pinch, and adjust as needed after tasting.
Using a whisk or spoon, mix all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Taste your yogurt sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a bit more heat, add extra red chili flakes.
For the best flavor, let the yogurt sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
