I have made this for period middle eastern feasts. Mixing mashed garlic into 
it after it has drained. I'm sure Stefan or someone on the list has the 
recipe I posted on this list. The longer you leave the yogurt drain, the 
firmer the finished product. I believe the source of the recipe is either 
al-Baghdadi or the Book of the Beloved.
