Curried Yogurt Sauce Recipes

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER IN CURRY YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the cauliflower florets on a large baking sheet in toss in the olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake covered for 10 minutes and uncovered for another 10 minutes until they start to brown.
• While the cauliflower is cooking, add the yogurt, mustard, turmeric, curry powder, zaatar, lemon juice, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic, onion powder and mayonnaise to a medium bowl. Whisk together until the ingredients are fully incorporated. The sauce will be bright yellow.
• When the cauliflower is done, place it directly into the sauce and toss until fully coated. Andrew and I eat this straight out of the bowl but it's also fantastic tossed in rice. I've also made it as a fried rice where i stir fry the rice with the cauliflower and then toss it in the sauce.

GARLIC-CURRY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix garlic, oil, curry powder, 1 cup yogurt, 2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl. Working in batches, add chicken thighs and turn to coat, using your hands to rub marinade under skin of each thigh. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and chill at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Position a rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 425°F. Transfer marinated chicken, skin side up, to a 13x9" baking dish. Roast chicken until skin is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 165°F, about 35 minutes. If chicken skin starts to burn, move pan to a lower rack to finish cooking.
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter, reserving pan juices. Whisk lemon juice, 1/4 cup pan juices, remaining 1 cup yogurt, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. If sauce is too thick, add more pan juices. Serve sauce alongside chicken.
• Do Ahead
• Chicken can marinate up to 1 day before cooking. Keep chilled.
