Instructions

  • Line a sieve with a muslin cloth.
  • Stir together salt and yogurt and pour the mixture into the cloth.
  • Bring the corners of the muslin together and twist to form a tight ball.
  • Place the sieve over a bowl to collect any liquid that drips down (whey).

  • Transfer the thick yogurt to a mixing bowl and mix with ground sumac.
