  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in cumin and chili powder and toast for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

For a slightly thicker chili, mash a few beans against the side of the pot before stirring. To avoid curdling, remove the pot from the burner before adding yogurt.
