The first reason is it tastes so delicious it would feel wrong not to include it. The second reason is if you take a look below, you will see like a great many of the Turkish dishes it is prepared with yogurt, thus giving it an original flavor. We use wheat flour specifically for the dough to have a harmonious chocolate brown color. And yes, it does taste so good as it looks :)
