Notes to make this perfect way

Make sure to hang the curd so that excess water is drained out.

The another trick is to properly drain or squeeze the grated cucumber before mixing it into the hung yogurt.

Otherwise, cucumber waters down the sauce too much.

The only wait required to make this recipe is to let the tzatziki rest for few minutes in the fridge to chill,  after you mix all ingredients together.
