How to make Spiced Yoghurt Dip with Pita and Peppers

Lightly crush cardamom pods with your thumb, then remove seeds, discarding husks. Toast cardamom, caraway seeds, and peppercorns in a dry small heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant and a shade darker, then cool. Grind spice mixture to a powder in grinder. Purée coriander with spice mixture, garlic, chilli, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 tablespoon oil in a blender until smooth (add remaining tablespoon water if necessary). Stir purée into yoghurt and season with salt.

Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 191°C.

Split pitas to make 8 rounds. Stir together butter, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl, then lightly brush on rough sides of pitas. Cut pitas into 1/2-inch-wide strips and arrange in 1 layer on 2 baking sheets. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes total. Transfer toasts to a rack to cool.3Serve dip with toasts and peppers.
