===Serving suggestions===
This can be served in the bowl in which you made it or divided up into four smaller bowls.
===Chef's notes===
[[Sheep]]'s [[Yogurt|yogurt]] is more traditional if you can get it, as are [[Green chillies|green chillies]].  However, [[Red chillies|red chillies]] add a little more colour.
===Variations===
Other variations can be found on the [[Talk:Çaçiki|comments]] page.
