Place chiles, garlic, salt, lemon juice, mint, cilantro, and cumin in a blender and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary to make sure everything gets well blended. Transfer to a small glass or ceramic bowl and gently stir in yoghurt. Pass with warm, cooked meats such as lamb, chicken, or beef.

Makes 4 servings.

*Wear gloves when seeding and slicing chiles and take care not to touch eyes or sensitive skin.
