what are the ingredients in the white yogurt sauce served with seekh kebabs?

Answer 1

Tahini is sesame seed paste used in Middle Eastern recipes.

Since seekh kebabs are Indian, I assume the yogurt "sauce" is also Indian. In India, cold "sauces" made from yogurt are called "raitas."

There are many variations to this sauce:

Refreshing Yoghurt raita

1 cup Greek or Indian yogurt (can use regular, but thick and creamy Indian or Greek style is best)
1 garlic clove, peeled & minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
cilantro leaves (a generous handful)
mint leaves (a generous handful)

Blend all the ingredients together until smooth.

Answer 2

Shish kebab, although originating from India, are made world famous through the Turkish cuisine. The "yogurt sauce" is just plain (or strained) Turkish yogurt. Usually beaten with a fork, a clove of crushed garlic added, and decorated with mint leaves and a streak of virgin olive oil. If you add chopped cucumbers in it then it becomes "cacik" (or dzadziki in Greek).

Answer 3

Thick yogurt is used,also called hung yogurt,tied in cheese cloth or muslin till part of the whey has drained out,not totally dry though,beat up the yogurt with a whisk or a fork to give a smooth consistency,add salt & a squeese of lemon juice,finely chopped cilantro , mint leaves,chopped onion,.a clove of galic ,a drop or two of fresh ginger juice ,wisk till well mixed & you are ready to serve,raita is also served with rice dishes cooked in various styles includng biryani.I make things easier for myself by roughly crushimg all the ingredients in a small handy pestle & mortar,saves having to chop.For a change,grated cucumber or white radish can also be mixed in.Raita also serves as a dip .

Answer 4

Tzatziki Sauce

1 cup of pressed yogurt (bought or drained of liquid)
grated garlic (to your liking start with 1 clove)
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cucumber (grated and liquid drained) almost paste like

combine all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

This is great perfect souvlaki and other grilled items
