Bipins Tarka Coconut Dip
Serves 8
Easy
Total time:
A traditional Gujarati yoghurt and coconut dip infused with aromatic tempered mustard seeds, touch of garlic, curry leaf and a hint of hot smoked paprika. Perfect with kebabs, bhajia, pakora or straight forward crisps or nachos. My friend Sharon and few hundreds people absolutely love it. I have served this dish with bhajia and traditional sun dried poppadums when I've cooked for large numbers of people at Hitchin Priory Hotel to Princess Helena College to Red Lion Preston Village.
