1 cup (medium) of Yogurt with Chili Flakes (150 g) has 102 calories. That works out to 68 calories per 100 g. It contains 7.8 g of carbs, 6.1 g of protein, 4.5 g of fat and 0.6 g of fiber. Its 0.7 µg of B12 covers 28% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Yogurt with Chili Flakes is a simple Turkish-style dish of plain, thick yogurt topped with red pepper flakes, often briefly warmed in oil. Its cool, gently tangy base contrasts with the pepper’s warmth, while the oil adds aroma; the texture is creamy and good for scooping with bread or vegetables.
In Turkey, it is commonly served as a meze or alongside home-cooked dishes, grilled meats and kebabs. Elsewhere, it works just as well as a savoury dip or a cooling side for spicy food. It contributes protein as well as some carbohydrate and fat, mainly from the yogurt. For a lighter version, use only a small drizzle of oil and adjust the flakes to your preferred heat.

Yogurt with Chili Flakes is a simple savory yogurt topping or side made by stirring chili flakes into plain yogurt, often with a little oil. It is served cool alongside grilled foods, vegetables, or other dishes that benefit from a spicy, creamy contrast.
Stir chili flakes into plain yogurt, then add a little salt if desired. For a more aromatic topping, briefly warm the flakes in oil and spoon the mixture over the yogurt; avoid overheating the oil, which can scorch the flakes.
Serve Yogurt with Chili Flakes with grilled kebabs, meatballs, roasted vegetables, or flatbread. It also works as a cooling side for spicy dishes and as a dip for bread, though the chili level can vary widely.
Yes, Greek yogurt works well for Yogurt with Chili Flakes and gives it a thicker, richer texture. If you want a pourable sauce rather than a dip, stir in a little water until it reaches the consistency you like.
Oil is optional in Yogurt with Chili Flakes, but warming chili flakes briefly in it brings out their aroma and creates a vivid topping. Let the oil cool slightly before adding it so the yogurt does not become unpleasantly warm.
Yes, minced or grated garlic gives Yogurt with Chili Flakes a sharper, more savory flavor. Add a small amount first, since raw garlic can quickly dominate the mild yogurt and chili; it is also delicious without garlic.
Use thick yogurt and avoid adding water or watery ingredients to Yogurt with Chili Flakes. If you are preparing it ahead, keep the chili-and-oil topping separate and add it just before serving to preserve the best texture.
Yogurt with Chili Flakes can be mild or quite hot, depending on the type and amount of chili used. Start with a small pinch, taste, and add more; the yogurt softens the heat but does not remove it.
Yes, you can prepare Yogurt with Chili Flakes ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. For the freshest flavor and appearance, add any warm chili-oil topping just before serving rather than mixing it in hours earlier.
Keep Yogurt with Chili Flakes in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within two days. Use a clean spoon each time, and discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell, or a change in color.
