Notes
- As with all of our recipes, the nutritional values for our haydari recipe are meant as a rough guide and are calculated by a 3rd party API.
- If you have any special dietary requirements, please do your own due diligence.
- Don't worry about following exact quantities for your haydari. This is a yoghurt dip that can be very much made to personal taste. Some people don't like to add garlic or lemon juice, for example. We love both and the lemon juice adds a lovely zesty flavour.
- If you want to make a big batch of haydari, it will last 3-4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. However, as it is so quick and easy to make, we recommend you make it fresh so that you get the fresh flavours.
- Whilst dried mint is an essential ingredient, if you don't like dill, you can leave this out or substitute it with finely chopped fresh parsley.
