What is Ayran made with strained yogurt?
Ayran made with strained yogurt is a Turkish savoury drink, prepared by whisking thick, strained yogurt with cold water and salt. Straining gives it a richer, denser yogurt character than ayran made with regular yogurt, while water makes it easy to drink.
It is usually served chilled alongside kebabs, grilled foods and everyday meals, or enjoyed on its own as a refreshing drink. Its mild tang and creamy texture also pair well with spicy dishes. It provides some protein from the yogurt, but remains a drink rather than a substantial meal; add more water and go easy on the salt for a lighter, milder glass.
