🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the sour cream for a plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt or tahini sauce. For a vegetarian bowl, replace the chicken with extra chickpeas or roasted cauliflower and keep the same seasoning profile.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm flatbread or pita for scooping, plus a crisp cucumber salad or simple greens to add freshness. A little extra lemon on the side and a tangy yogurt dip also balance the spices nicely.
