Ingredients

• 400g Greek-style yoghurt
• 200g cream cheese, brought to room temperature.
• 1 bunch of chives, reserving 1 tbsp for garnish, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Splash of apple cider vinegar
• Pinch of sugar
• Pinch of salt
• Onion bhaji, to serve
• Spinach pakoras, to serve

Method

1. Start by straining the yoghurt to thicken slightly. Rest a sieve over a bowl and line with a muslin cloth, a chux wipe or even paper towel. Pour in the yoghurt, season with salt and gently stir through. Bring all the sides of the cloth up and twist together. Then tie with kitchen string or a rubber band. Allow to strain for 1-2 hours. Discard the liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
