Creamy, exotic and refreshing, this sauce, also known as Raita, is the perfect companion for your empanadas.

Ingredients:

• 2 units of liquid natural yogurt (125 grams each)
• 1 tablespoon of fresh diced coriander
• 1 tablespoon of fresh diced mint
• 1 small tablespoon of mustard grain
• ½ small tablespoon of cumin
• 1 pinch of cayenne pepper (or any powdered chili that adds some spice)
• 2 spring onions
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Lime zest
• Half lime juice
• Salt (necessary amount)

Process:

• In a large recipient, mix the yogurt with the spices and the finely chopped herbs until everything is completely incorporated.
• Add the finely diced spring onions and the olive oil.
• Mix well and add the zest and the half lime juice to control de acidity.
• Try it and add the salt if necessary. If you want it a bit sourer or the sauce is a bit too thick, add the rest of the lime juice.
• The sauce must be kept cold, but it is important to take it out a couple of minutes earlier to serve it with the empanadas.
