How to make it
Line a colander with two layers of close-woven cloth and pour in the katyk.
Knot the corners of the cloth and hang the bundle over a bowl somewhere cold.
Leave it draining a full day, until the mass is as firm as soft curd.
Pound the garlic with a pinch of salt into a smooth paste.
Chop the coriander, dill, basil and spring onion as fine as you can.
Fold the herbs and garlic into the strained mass with a spatula, without mashing it.
Salt it, smooth it in a bowl, press a hollow with a spoon and pour the oil into it.
