The list of ingredients makes no mention of yoghurt. It is only when you read the method that you read of the yoghurt, but are not given an amount?

I’m so sorry that was an oversight on our behalf.  I have altered the recipe to include two tablespoons of natural yoghurt.  Many thanks for your feed back.  Enjoy
