• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 small garlic clove

• Salt and a pinch of sugar, to taste

Method

1. Add all ingredients to a blender or small food processor.
2. Blend until smooth, then taste and adjust lime, salt and heat.
3. Rest for 10 minutes before serving so the smoky flavour develops.

Uses and storage

Drizzle it over grilled paneer, roasted potatoes or corn, or use it as a sandwich spread. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to five days and stir before serving.
