Summary
Yogurt turns surprisingly velvety and decadent when cooked with cornstarch and egg yolks. Serve it over meatballs seasoned with a combo of cinnamon, cumin, and cilantro--and you've got an updated Turkish kofta. Top it with red-pepper flakes and sumac (a lemony Middle Eastern spice) for an energetic lift.
