I'm not a culinary scientist but something definitely goes wrong with yogurt in a blender.    I don't even use a blender anymore.  Just a whisk.

Hi DeeDee,

The blender knocks all the body out of yogurt and basically turns it into a watery mess.

I always use a thick Greek yogurt which I make myself,

It's really really good, You will need to buy the yogurt maker, but once you have tried this stuff you will make your own from then on, and they do lots of different flavours and it works out really cheap when you consider the quantity you can make from one packet....

But the trick is to put just one or two tbsp in the blender to enable the blending process to take place and it will turn watery, but then just spoon in the rest of the thick yogurt for a better consistency for your sauce

Cheers for the tip 976bar.  I'll have to look into the cost of getting the yog maker this side of the pond.
