  • 1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

  • 1 green chile pepper, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

  1. Mix cottage cheese, 1 clove of garlic, cardamom, and cloves thoroughly in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  2. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, ginger, green chile pepper, and 2 cloves of garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
