Best Spiced Yogurt With Summer Berries Recipes

SUMMER VEGETABLES IN SPICED YOGURT SAUCE

Summer Vegetables in Spiced Yogurt Sauce image

The farmers' market or a home garden may be the ideal source of summer vegetables for this seasonal main course. Feel free to substitute or add other garden gifts as available. Eggplant, green beans, small potatoes or okra would all be welcome. Substantial but light, and reminiscent of some kormas, it gets its rich, creamy consistency from a mixture of yogurt and almond flour.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons neutral oil or ghee
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and grated
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced (use less, or remove seeds, for a milder stew)
1 medium onion, diced small
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
4 cups diced summer squash, such as zucchini, pattypan or romanesco, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3 cups baby turnips, halved or quartered
2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
1/2 cup almond flour
2 cups shelled peas or cut green beans
1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 3 ears corn)
5 ounces baby spinach
Roughly chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
Cooked basmati rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Put oil in a deep, wide skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add the ginger, garlic, cumin seeds, turmeric, cayenne and the serrano chile. Stir-fry the mixture until it begins to sizzle a bit, about 1 minute.
Add onion to pot, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season well with salt.
Stir in garam masala, squash and turnips, along with 1 cup water. Cover and simmer briskly until vegetables are just done, about 3 minutes.
Add yogurt and almond flour. Stir well to combine. Add peas and corn. Simmer gently, uncovered, until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Taste sauce for salt and adjust as needed.
Add the spinach, and let wilt into the mixture. Turn off heat. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with rice, if desired.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER WITH SPICED YOGURT SAUCE

Grilled Cauliflower with Spiced Yogurt Sauce image

The secret to this grilled cauliflower's gorgeous color? The deep reddish-brown char comes from brushing the whole head with oil that's been seasoned with garam masala, paprika, and garlic, then grilling it on all sides. This step also seals in plenty of smoky flavor. And the secret to a creamy, fork-tender interior is precooking the vegetable; a seven-minute steam before it hits the grill is all it needs. Served with a simple yogurt sauce and cucumber-tomato salad, it's a carve-at- the-table centerpiece everybody will want a piece of.

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), stem trimmed
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 clove garlic, finely grated (about 1/4 teaspoon)
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
2 Persian cucumbers (each about 3 ounces), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half-moons
1 large heirloom tomato (12 ounces), chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Vegetable oil, for grill
Store-bought chutney, for serving

Steps:

Bring about 1 inch salted water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Place cauliflower in basket, stem-side down. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and steam until a sharp knife easily slides into stem, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons olive oil, garam masala, paprika, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Whisk 2 tablespoons olive-oil mixture into yogurt, along with 1 tablespoon lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, combine cucumbers, tomato, chives, and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat grill to medium-high; scrub grates, then lightly brush with vegetable oil. Brush cauliflower all over with 1 tablespoon olive-oil mixture; season with salt and pepper. Grill top and sides of cauliflower, turning every few minutes and covering grill in between, until florets are charred in places, about 20 minutes. Flip cauliflower stem-side down; brush with remaining oil mixture and grill, covered, until tender but not falling apart, 5 to 8 minutes more. Cut cauliflower into quarters and serve with cucumber salad, yogurt mixture, and chutney.
