Turkish cacık, made with yoghurt and cucumber.

Cacık (IPA pronunciation: /dʒɑːdʒɯk/) is a Turkish dish of seasoned, diluted yoghurt, eaten throughout the former Ottoman world. In Greece it is called tzatziki. It is served cold in very small bowls usually as a side dish or with ice cubes.

Cacık is made of yogurt, salt, olive oil, crushed garlic, chopped cucumber, dill, mint, and lime juice, diluted with water to a low consistency, and garnished with sumac. Among these ingredients, olive oil, lime juice, and sumac are optional. Dill and mint (fresh or dried) may be used alternately. Cacık, when consumed as a meze, is prepared without water but follows the same recipe. Ground paprika may also be added when it is prepared as a meze. As a rarer recipe, when prepared with lettuce or carrots instead of cucumber, it is named kış cacığı (winter cacık).

A similar side dish prepared in India is known as raita. Particularly popular in the state of Maharashtra, it is prepared with cucumbers, onions, tomatoes and quite often, grated carrots. In Tamil, raita with variation in ingredients is also called 'Thayir Pacchadi' - 'Thayir' being the Tamil name for yoghurt. Unlike other versions, lime juice is not used in raita. Further differences in the Indian dish include heated oil, mustard seeds and asafoetida and a tadka is given to the consistency of yoghurt and the other vegetables. A variation is to sautee oil, dried red chillies, mustard seeds, tadka dall, small onions and sometimes curry leaves and add this to yoghurt. It is used as an accompaniment.
