First of all, as a Turk, I do not believe that there is Greek yoghurt and cacık. They are all Turkish anyway, but that's how they are known in Europe. Cacık is eaten with a spoon as a side dish, not with bread. Since the Greeks call as yogurt, the filtered yoghurt in turkey, they only make it in a thicker form. The Turkish one is more liquid and can be consumed with a spoon as a side dish, like soup. That's why the yogurt we use for cacık is more watery and sour. In fact, the greek one is more whipped than our filtered yoghurt and tastes reminiscent of butter. The one made with filtered yoghurt and without water is an appetizer and called as Haydari among the Turks. So, I don't think making Turkish cacık with the yoghurt sold as Greek yoghurt will give you the same taste :)

Well actually tzatziki came to Greece after 1922! Now for yogurt, although the word is Turkish ancient Greeks were calling it οξυγαλα “sour milk” and they got it around 5000 bc from Mesopotamians

As a Turk-Greek mix, I humbly invite the comment section to stop crying about its origins. It is a shared culture. Period.

I will add this though: Turkish cacık is NOT a dip. It is the key difference between the two: It is watery so that you spoon it while eating something, especially if it is spicy or very hot. (It cools you down in either case)

There is no dill or olive oil or lemon in Turkish version. Also there should be a lot of water in it. Cacık is something liquid. Just add cucumber garlic salt and water. That’s it.
Edit: I wrote about what I know and how my family do cacık. But in that video I learned more. For more info you can check that.

I just wanted to come by and show some love for you making this video. It was very well done. But where's the bread recipe? 😭

[peterhoulis]

Really your gonna argue about the origins of tsatziki, greek and turkish foods are very similar anyway so all i say is shut up and just enjoy that delicious dip / sauce !

Why no dill in Tzatziki ? RU serious ?

Yoghurt s turkish word, greek tatziki s turkish haydari not cacik

[ShoahshanaGoIdbergShekelstein]

Both versions are Turkish. The name "tzatziki" comes from Turkish "Cacik".
