What is Purslane haydari?
Purslane haydari is a Turkish cold dip made by folding fresh purslane and garlic into thick, strained yoghurt. It brings together haydari’s tangy, creamy base and the fresh, mildly vegetal taste of purslane, which is usually chopped before mixing.
In Turkey it is served as a meze, alongside grilled dishes or as part of a spread of small plates; it also makes a refreshing addition to a summer table. The yoghurt gives it some protein, while purslane keeps the flavour fresh rather than heavy. Serve it with vegetables for dipping or alongside grilled vegetables, and use oil sparingly if you prefer a lighter dip.
