Curry Dip Recipe Ingredients

For this yogurt-based dip, you'll need:

White onion
Full-fat yogurt
Mayonnaise
Curry powder
Turmeric powder
Seasoned salt

Curry dip ingredients in bowls on parchment paper.

Ingredient Notes

For this recipe, regular full-fat plain yogurt works the best, but Greek yogurt is also okay if you prefer a thicker consistency and a little more tang.

There are many kinds of curry powder, so go ahead and use your favorite Indian-style brand or recipe. If you are new to cooking with curry powder, look for a curry powder in the store that appeals to you, but be careful because the spice levels can range from mild to super hot.

Lawry's Seasoned Salt is a good option here.

How to Make This Curry Dip For Vegetables

To prepare the dip:

Peel the white onion and grate it finely. Wrap the grated onion in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible over the sink. Reserve the dry onions for later.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the yogurt and mayonnaise.
Stir the grated onions into the yogurt and mayonnaise mixture.
Use a fork to mix the turmeric powder, curry powder, and seasoned salt in a separate bowl.
Stir the spices with the other ingredients.

Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least half an hour before serving.
Serve in a small bowl on a platter surrounded with veggies.

What to Serve With Curry Dip For Veggies

Just about any fresh veggies will taste better with a bit of curry dip. Easy options include carrot and celery sticks, green beans, cherry tomatoes, or bell pepper strips.

Broccoli and cauliflower are also good choices, but you'll need to blanch them for about two minutes in boiling water and shock them in an ice water bath beforehand.

If you are feeling even more culinarily adventurous, you may want to try grilling asparagus or eggplant skewer and add them to the veggie platter.

Other Ways to Use It

Curry Dip for vegetables is tasty, but there are many other ways to use it. This delicious dip is great for potato chips and crackers too.

Brush it on kebabs or grilled chicken. Use it as a dipping sauce for chicken fingers or nuggets. Spread on a veggie or beef burger or sandwiches.

Try tossing the curry dip with boiled potatoes and hard-boiled eggs for the best potato salad you have ever eaten. It's great tossed on pasta too.

How to Store

It is best to toss any used dip, but you can keep any unserved dip in an airtight container in the fridge.

Feel free to prep the veggies up to a few hours before serving. You can assemble them on a platter, cover with plastic wrap and keep them cold in the fridge until it is time for the party.
