FAQ
Can regular yogurt be used instead of strained yogurt?
Regular yogurt can make the meze too watery, so strained yogurt is strongly recommended for the right consistency.
How can I balance the heat of the peppers?
If you prefer it less spicy, you can remove the seeds from the peppers before cooking.
