Steps
Steps
- 1If you only have plain yoghurt, strain 700 g in a muslin-lined sieve in the fridge for 2–3 hours until it halves in volume. Bought strained yoghurt lets you skip this step.
- 2Crush the garlic with a pinch of salt in a mortar or under the flat of a knife to a smooth paste — lumps of raw garlic give a harsh, uneven bite.
- 3Beat the yoghurt with a fork until smooth and creamy, then work in the garlic paste and the oil.
- 4Stir in most of the dill, taste and season with salt. If it is too stiff to spoon, loosen it with a spoonful of cold water.
- 5Serve straight away or chill — the garlic grows stronger as it stands. Spoon over the hot fried vegetables and scatter with the remaining dill.
