'''Qatiq''' is a [[Fermented milk products|fermented milk product]] from the [[Turkic countries]]. It is considered a more solid form of [[yogurt]] than ''[[ayran]]''.<ref>''Food on the Move'' (ed. by Harlan Walker). Oxford Symposium, 1997. ISBN 9780907325796. Page 245.</ref>

Some of the local names include: ''katık'' in [[Turkey]], ''qatıq'' in [[Azerbaijan]], ''qatiq'' in [[Uzbekistan]], ''ҡатыҡ'' in [[Bashkortostan]], ''қатық'' in [[Kazakhstan]] and [[Tajikistan]], ''катык'' or ''айран'' in [[Kyrgyzstan]], ''катык'' in [[Tatarstan]], ''gatyk'' in [[Turkmenistan]]. It is known as ''къатыкъ'' among the [[Crimean Tatars]] and as ''қатиқ'' among the [[Uyghurs]]. In [[Bulgaria]], ''катък'' is not a drink, but a spread that has the consistency of [[mayonnaise]].

In order to obtain qatiq, the boiled milk is fermented for 6-10 hours in a warm place. Sometimes [[red beet]]s or [[cherries]] are used for coloring. The drink may be kept in a cool place for two or three days. If stored longer, the drink will turn sour; it may still be added to high-fat [[soup]]s, though. The ''[[chalap|chalop]]'' soup is made from qatiq in [[Uzbekistan]].

When sour milk is strained in a canvas bag, the resulting product is called [[suzma]].<ref name="Walker1990">{{cite book|author=Harlan Walker|title=Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery, 1989: Staple Foods : Proceedings|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I15eJt6U3gMC&pg=PA219|year=1990|publisher=Oxford Symposium|isbn=978-0-907325-44-4|pages=219–}}</ref> Dried suzma, or [[Kashk|kurut]], is often rolled into marble-size balls.<ref name="MayhewBloom2010">{{cite book|author1=Bradley Mayhew|author2=Greg Bloom|author3=Paul Clammer |author4=Michael Kohn|title=Central Asia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B9m-hrsrtfYC&pg=PA87|year=2010|publisher=Lonely Planet|isbn=978-1-74179-148-8|pages=87–}}</ref>
