1/4 – 1/2 cup tomato achar, or to taste
1/4 cup oil
2 cups labneh
Naan, pita chips, or chips of choice, for serving
Instructions
- Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the tomato achar and cook for another 1–2 minutes until heated through.
- Spread the labneh evenly on a serving plate or shallow dish.
- Pour the hot achar and garlic oil mixture over the labneh, allowing it to sizzle.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.
- Serve immediately with naan, pita chips, or your choice of dippers.
Notes
Use less achar for a milder flavor, or up to 1/2 cup for a spicier dip.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice or chili flakes for extra zest and heat.
Greek yogurt or whipped cream cheese can substitute for labneh.
Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat the achar topping separately before serving to recreate the sizzling effect.
