Serve over rice. Top with yogurt.
Wine note: With spicy ethnic cuisine, seek out the German grape gewrztraminer, which yields wines with floral and lychee aromas, as well as natural sweetness that makes a perfect foil to the jalapeo and cumin in the stew. Chateau St. Jean Gewrztraminer 2006 ($15), from Sonoma, California, offers classic honeysuckle and melon aromas, with a spice-friendly sweetness and snappy acidity that adds texture to the dish. -Jeffery Lindenmuth
