Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and ground cumin.
Step 3
Add the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and honey or maple syrup to the bowl, and whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 4
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the spices or sweetener if needed for balance.
Step 5
If the sauce seems too thick, add the water one tablespoon at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning or spice level if necessary. For more heat, add a pinch more cayenne pepper; for more tanginess, add a splash of lemon juice.
Step 7
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or drizzle it directly over your kebabs. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
