How to make it lighter

  1. Measure the chili butter: a teaspoon brushed over the top gives the same colour and aroma as a generous pour.
  2. Use strained or lower-fat yogurt for the base; it keeps the garlicky tang and adds protein for fewer calories.
  3. Mind the bread for dipping: decide on one slice beforehand, or add sliced cucumber and tomato to the plate instead.
