Is Yogurt dill meze the same as cacık?

Why does Yogurt dill meze turn watery?

What is Yogurt dill meze?

Yogurt dill meze is a cool, yogurt-based dip or side from Turkish meze cooking, with fresh dill as its defining herb. Depending on the household, it may also include garlic and a little olive oil. Its gentle tang and creamy texture are lifted by dill’s grassy, fresh flavour; the consistency varies with the yogurt used.

In Turkey it is served chilled alongside a meal or as part of a spread of small plates, often with bread for scooping. It also works as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled vegetables or meat. Yogurt gives it protein and calcium, while the dill keeps the flavour bright. For a lighter version, choose plain lower-fat yogurt and use olive oil sparingly.
