Corn + Leek Yogurt Dip

Corn + Leek Yogurt Dip

Dips & Condiments

For me, the ultimate dip is from the nostalgic era of Monaco biscuits with hung curd dip layered on top with a bit of ketchup and grated cheese or even jeeni sev! This is a recipe that is reminiscent of those glorious days when thing’s were simpler, and these counted as hors d’oeuvres !
