Suzma
Suzma is a fermented dairy product (katyk) strained through cloth, letting the whey drain off and leaving a thick mass similar to soft cottage cheese or labneh, with a tangy taste. It's made without cooking, purely through natural fermentation and straining. It's a vegetarian dish.
It's served cold, either as a standalone dip or a sauce, often with herbs, garlic or flatbread. Its tangy flavor refreshes the palate well after rich or spicy food, which is why it's often ordered alongside meat dishes.
