Ingredients

6 servings

For the garlic-infused oil

¼ cup neutral oil (such as avocado oil or light olive oil)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly smashed

For the spice blend

1 tsp ground cumin
Ingredient note

1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground coriander
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit seeds and coarse spices. Only a trace of ground coriander is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid coriander, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient note

¼ tsp cayenne pepper

For the sauce

½ cup plain yogurt
Ingredient note
Plain yogurt has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid yogurt, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
Ingredient note
Fruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lemon juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
½ tsp salt, or to taste

Instructions

1
Combine the oil and smashed garlic cloves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm gently until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the garlic steep in the oil for 2 more minutes.
2
Pour the oil through a fine-mesh strainer into a mixing bowl, pressing the garlic solids lightly to extract the oil. Discard the garlic solids.
