Thick yogurt can also be added to curries in place of cream to lighten up dishes & add a bit of tangy-ness. It also helps to mellow out the spices, just add a dollop to your curry (after it has cooled down for about 10-15 minutes, otherwise the heat curdles the yogurt).
I also add it to non-lettuce based salads such as chopped tomatoes & red onions or chopped tomatoes & cucumbers.
You can even add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg, ground allspice, ground cardamom powder & saffron to thick yogurt -- serve with fresh fruit or berries for a healthy dessert :-)
