Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne (if using), and salt. Mix until the marinade is thoroughly blended and vibrant orange in color.
Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed for balance.
Use marinade on firm white fish (like cod or halibut), shrimp, or hearty vegetables (like cauliflower or paneer)—coat well and marinate for at least 30 minutes before grilling or roasting.
