- Place the yogurt on low heat after mixing it with a little water and salt...
- Continue stirring from time to time, and when the yogurt nears boiling add a small cup of vinegar to curdle the milk, then cover the pot and turn off the heat.
- When the yogurt cools, pour it into a fine cloth or cheesecloth bag to strain out the whey...
- Put the strained yogurt in a somewhat deep bowl, add hot chili (shatta) to taste, shape it into rounds, then place them in the sun for a full day.
- After one day, add dried za'atar to the shanklish rounds.
