joghurtos

Joghurtos is a term sometimes used informally to refer to foods or dishes that feature yogurt as a primary ingredient. This can encompass a wide variety of preparations, both sweet and savory, and across different culinary traditions. The common thread is the use of yogurt, a fermented dairy product known for its tangy flavor and creamy texture.

In many cultures, yogurt is consumed on its own as a breakfast item or snack. It can also be a base for smoothies, parfaits, or dips. Savory applications of joghurtos-style dishes include yogurt-based sauces for grilled meats, marinades, or as a cooling accompaniment to spicy foods. Examples might include tzatziki in Greek cuisine, raita in Indian cuisine, or various yogurt-based soups and stews found in Eastern European and Middle Eastern cooking. The versatility of yogurt allows for a broad interpretation of what "joghurtos" might entail, depending on regional preferences and culinary styles.
