Tomatoes With Curry Yogurt
Instructions
Step 1
To start off your delicious curry yogurt, grab a small mixing bowl and add 1 cup of plain whole-milk yogurt, ideally Greek for that creamy texture. Next, spoon in 2 tablespoons of Kewpie mayonnaise for a touch of richness, followed by 2 teaspoons of mild curry powder, which will infuse the yogurt with a warm, aromatic flavor.
Now, sprinkle in 2 teaspoons of sugar to balance the spices, then add ½ teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder for extra depth. Squeeze in 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice to brighten everything up, and finish with 1 teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or ½ teaspoon of Morton kosher salt).
Using a whisk, blend all these ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Don’t forget to season with freshly ground pepper to taste! Once it’s all mixed, take a quick taste of your curry yogurt. If you feel it needs a bit more salt or lime juice, now’s the time to adjust it to your liking. This tangy, flavorful dip is going to elevate your tomatoes beautifully!
Step 2
To start, take a generous portion of the curry yogurt and spread it evenly across a large platter, creating a nice base for your tomatoes. Next, grab about 2 pounds of mixed tomatoes and cut them into wedges, quarters, or halves, depending on your preference. Once you’ve arranged the tomatoes beautifully on top of the yogurt, it’s time to add some zing! Scatter the thinly sliced jalapeño and the zest of one lime over the tomatoes, making sure to distribute them evenly for that fresh burst of flavor.
Now, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over everything, which will enhance the taste of the tomatoes. Finally, drizzle some fresh lime juice and a splash of extra-virgin olive oil over the top, letting the vibrant colors and aromas come together. Save any leftover curry yogurt in the fridge for another dish later on, because it’s too good to waste!

My Tip
For a creamier texture in your curry yogurt, make sure to whisk the yogurt and Kewpie mayonnaise together thoroughly until smooth before adding the spices. This ensures that the flavors meld beautifully and gives you that luscious, velvety consistency that pairs perfectly with the fresh tomatoes.
Leftovers
To store your leftover Tomatoes With Curry Yogurt, transfer them to a glass container with a tight-fitting lid for up to three days in the fridge. When you're ready to enjoy them again, gently reheat in the microwave on low power to maintain the yogurt's creamy texture—just be careful not to overheat, or it might separate!
Make It Your Own
For a refreshing twist, swap the plain yogurt for coconut yogurt to give it a creamy, dairy-free vibe. You can also add a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor that pairs beautifully with the curry spices.
