* Garlic Yoghurt Dip
Garlic gives a delicious taste to all sorts of food be it naan, dips, parathas, curries or anything. To make this refreshing and appetising dip, one has to take some Parmesan cheese and some lemon juice to give it a zesty and refreshing flavour.

To give the dip some extra flavours, a person may add herbs of their choice.
