Share:
Ingredients
- 75 g feta cheese
- 200 g thick strained yoghurt
- 1 clove garlic (turned into a paste with a pinch of salt)
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 40 g walnut (finely chopped)
- 25 g butter (to garnish)
- ½ teaspoon dried mint
- ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes (optional) (to garnish)
Instructions
- Place the feta cheese in a bowl and turn it into a paste using a fork.
- Gently melt the butter (or heat the olive oil if not using butter) on low heat in a small saucepan and add the dry mint along with the chili flakes. Allow 5 minutes to infuse the oil with mint and chili.
- Add the yogurt, melted butter, garlic purée, finely chopped dill, and walnuts to the bowl and mix well.
- Transfer the yogurt and feta mixture into a serving bowl and garnish with chili flakes or a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes
- If you can't find thick strained yogurt, you can make your own by putting normal yogurt into a cheesecloth and waiting for a few hours until you get rid of the excess water in the yogurt.
- You can skip the walnuts if you want a smoother texture.
- I don't recommend freezing this dip as it would lose its texture and get watery when defrosted.
- The leftovers of Haydari dip would keep for up to 5 days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
- Allow the Haydari to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
