Fried purslane with yogurt is made by briefly sautéing washed, well-drained purslane until tender, then cooling it and mixing it with seasoned yogurt. Add the yogurt only after the greens have cooled so the mixture stays thick rather than turning runny.
Fried purslane with yogurt tastes tangy and creamy, with a pleasantly fresh, slightly lemony flavor from the purslane. Sautéing softens its texture, while garlic and olive oil—common additions—make the meze more savory.
Yes, tender purslane stems work well in fried purslane with yogurt. Remove any unusually thick or woody ends, then chop the stems and leaves so they cook evenly; the stems add a little more bite than the leaves alone.
No, purslane does not need blanching for fried purslane with yogurt. Blanching can leave the greens waterlogged; wash them thoroughly, drain them well, and sauté them directly so excess moisture can evaporate in the pan.
Fried purslane with yogurt usually turns watery because the purslane was still wet after washing or was mixed with yogurt while hot. Drain the greens well, cook off excess moisture, and let them cool before combining them with thick yogurt.
Yes, Greek yogurt works well in fried purslane with yogurt because its thick texture helps the meze stay creamy. If it seems too dense, loosen it with a small spoonful of water or olive oil before mixing it with the cooled purslane.
Fried purslane with yogurt is usually served cool or at room temperature, like a meze. The purslane itself is cooked first, but it should cool before the yogurt is added; serving it hot can make the yogurt loose or grainy.
Fried purslane with yogurt pairs well with grilled meat, roasted vegetables, and other small plates. Serve it with warm flatbread or alongside a grain dish; its creamy, tangy flavor also balances richer or more heavily seasoned foods.
Yes, spinach can replace purslane in fried purslane with yogurt, though the result will taste less tangy and have a different texture. Sauté the spinach until its moisture evaporates, then cool it before mixing it with the yogurt.
Wash purslane for fried purslane with yogurt in a bowl of cool water, gently separating the leaves and stems to release grit. Lift the greens out rather than pouring the water over them, then rinse again and drain thoroughly before cooking.

Fried purslane with yogurt is a Turkish home-style meze made by softening purslane leaves and tender stems in a pan, then serving them with yogurt. Garlic is sometimes mixed into the yogurt, while the plant’s pleasantly tangy, succulent character keeps the dish fresh-tasting.
It is commonly served cool or at room temperature alongside a meal, or as part of a spread of small dishes; bread is a natural partner. Purslane contributes vegetables and some fibre, while yogurt adds a little protein. The oil used for frying accounts for much of the dish’s fat, so using less oil is an easy way to make a lighter version.
