Serve the spicy yogurt sauce immediately or refrigerate it for later use.

Notes

Choose the Right Yogurt: Opt for plain Greek yogurt for a creamy and thick base. Greek yogurt works well because of its rich and creamy texture. You can also use regular plain yogurt, but you may need to strain it to achieve a thicker consistency.
Balance the Heat: Start with a small amount of hot sauce and gradually increase to your desired level of spiciness. Different hot sauces vary in heat level, so adjust accordingly. If you're unsure, it's always better to start with less and add more later.
Adjust Consistency: Depending on your preference, you can adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding a little milk, or olive oil to thin it out. This is especially helpful if you want a more pourable sauce.
