1 ts salt
2 c plain yogurt; *see note 1

medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a full boil. Boil for
1 minute. Remove pan from heat.

7. Dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon cold water and stir it into the sauce.
Return pan to stove and cook for 1 minute over medium heat, stirring
constantly, to thicken sauce.
