Sorry about the late reply. About 200 grams. The recipe is Greek and takes the measurements from 2 individual yogurt packs that is sold in Greece. Write to me on dora@neoskosmos.com.au for a speedy reply.

Dora's recipies are the best! This woman knows something about the depth and breadth of Greek cuisine that most Greeks in Greece and here do not. I am so tired of boring Greek food now days. Where has all that culinary knowledge from Asia Minor, Italy, the Middle East and even ancient and Byzantine Greece gone? I guess Dora is one of the few that we look to, she should be writting a book and Neos Kosmos should be publishing it! Lambis SA
