Chef's Notes
Quality matters here, my friends! Use full fat Greek yoghurt because fat is flavor, and watery low-fat yoghurts will turn your dip into a sad soup.
Pro Tip
Grate the garlic into a fine paste rather than chopping it. It distributes the flavor evenly so nobody bites into an unexpected garlic landmine!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You were lazy with the tea towel, ignored the liquid, and ended up with watery garlic soup that pools miserably at the bottom of your serving bowl, utterly drowning your pita bread in sadness.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My lord, the chef spent twenty minutes squeezing water out of a vegetable, only to put it back into a bowl of wet yogurt. It’s like a bath for your dinner!
The Culinary Science
Salt draws out water from the cucumber through osmosis. Wringing it out in a towel physically removes that liquid, preventing the salt from later releasing water into your thick yoghurt.
