Method

Hang the yogurt in a clean cloth or sieve 10 min to thicken.
Crush the garlic with the salt into a paste.
Whisk the garlic paste and lemon, then add the yogurt a spoon at a time, whisking 1 min until thick and glossy.

Keeping

Keeps: Fridge 2 days; made at the Sunday cook-up for Monday lunch

Why it tastes good: Adding the yogurt slowly while whisking keeps it thick like the shawarma-shop sauce.
