A great condiment to temper the spicy foods of India or Greece. Wonderful sauce for stuffed pita pockets, too.

I added some chopped cucumber to this sauce and it gave it a nice fresh flavor.

I made this sauce with Greek yogurt and it was delicious! I think it would also be good with regular yogurt.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but I still liked it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
