I am so happy to have found this recipe, i have been craving this!
Hi! Nice to meet you :D and nice to know about Greek recipes, hope you enjoy mine too!
I tried to make this once by just adding cucumbers to yogurt with spices and it didn't work obviously. I have a question: How do you strain yogurt?
You don't have to strain the yoghurt - it is sold as Greek strained yoghurt. I don't know where you live, but you should be able to buy it in good shops. If not, you can look at the Food Store on this blog and order it from there.
Cheers & Good Luck!

Sorry, I forgot to mention, it's the Fage Total yoghurt on the first page of the Food Store - it doesn't say strained yoghurt, but it is.
