To make Spicy Yogurt Dip with Red Pepper, stir garlic and salt into thick strained yogurt, then spoon over oil warmed with hot pepper. For a sweeter pepper flavor, fold in finely chopped roasted red pepper as well.
Spicy Yogurt Dip with Red Pepper is called atom because its hot pepper topping can deliver a sharp, intense heat. The name does not specify one fixed recipe; the amount and type of chili determine how fiery each version is.
Spicy Yogurt Dip with Red Pepper can range from mildly warm to intensely hot. Kapya peppers are generally sweet, so the heat usually comes from added chili flakes or dried hot peppers fried in oil.
Spicy Yogurt Dip with Red Pepper gets its defining kick from hot pepper or chili oil. Haydari is typically a thick yogurt meze flavored with garlic and herbs, so it is not simply another name for the same dish.
Serve Spicy Yogurt Dip with Red Pepper as part of a Turkish meze spread or alongside grilled kebabs and other meats. Pita or crusty bread works well for scooping it, while milder yogurt or vegetable dishes balance its heat.
