While you're waiting for the main meal, offer your guests this light appetizer, which is incredibly quick and easy to prepare. The generous amount of cilantro gives this yogurt dip a delicate green color, a fantastic aroma, and a vibrant flavor, spiced with cardamom, spicy jalapeño, and tangy cumin. The sauce pairs beautifully with both fried flatbreads and sliced ​​fresh vegetables. Arrange them around the bowl of sauce and serve.
