Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dip, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, or a non-dairy alternative for a vegan option. Adjust the curry powder according to your spice preference, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and adding more as desired. If you want extra flavor, try adding a splash of lemon juice or some diced fresh herbs. This dip also makes a great spread for sandwiches.
