Crush the cumin between your palms and mix it (along with the rest of the spices) into the yogurt. Thin with milk to desired consistency.
All amounts are to taste; it’s not that serious.

The covering and chilling is actual pretty vital to this recipe, although it’s tempting to skip the step. If you eat it right away, the flavors will feel off and disjointed, maybe too sweet or too tart. But once it’s had a chance to meld together in the fridge, everything becomes much more cohesive.

A cup of balsamic vinegar can be cooked down as-is into a thick, syrupy glaze. This is my preferred method, which I find sweet enough. If you must add sugar, use the recipe below.
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | balsamic vinegar |
| 1 T | sugar |
Any kind of sugar should work here (cane, raw, brown, granulated,). I would avoid powdered, as I haven’t tested that and it tends to behave in sometimes unexpected ways.

This is a Little Caesar’s copycat recipe. It can be used immediately if necessary, but the flavor will be best after it’s been in the fridge for 3-5 days.
