Dippy Doubts
What are good things to dip?
Any crunchy item is a great thing to pair with a dip. A potato crisp, thick chunky chips, potato wedges, crudites, battered and fried veggies like tempura veg, samosa, south Indian vada etc. There is a whole world out there!
What are the most common dips?
Dips fall into three main categories – the creamy kind, made of yogurt/sour cream, etc., and the non-creamy kind, made out of tomatoes, roasted red peppers, olives, etc. The third one is the one made of legumes – hummus, bean spreads, etc fall into this category. Just go nuts trying out everything in this fun collection. You don’t have to wait for Superbowl for it! We hope you’ve enjoyed our compilation of quick, vegetarian, and vegan easy dip recipes.
