[recipe adapted from Madhur Jaffrey's _World of the East Vegetarian Cooking_

[tsp=teaspoon]

1Cup	non-fat yogurt			[plain, homemade]
1/4tsp	salt				[or none]
1clove	garlic				[mashed in a garlic press]
					[really, one clove is enough]
1/4tsp	black pepper			[go ahead, use more]
2tsp	extra virgin olive oil

Put the yogurt in a bowl and whisk it until it is smooth.  Don't use a
blender as you can't fit your hand in it later.

Mix in the remaining ingredients.  Don't use more than one clove of garlic;
save it for next time if you must.  This dish is pungent enough w/o the
extra garlic.  For some reason the yogurt brings out the pungency in the
garlic.

Eat with fresh-baked naan, pita bread, or chopped up veggies; jicama is
a very good compliment to this condiment.
