Put egg yolks together with water in a little saucepan and place it in a bain-marie; be careful the water of your bain-marie is not boiling: it must be only warm!
Beat egg yolks and water with a wooden spoon until you have a foamy mixture. At this point add the yoghurt gradually, stirring continuously; keep on stirring until you have a creamy and thick sauce. Be always careful to the temperature of the bain-marie! You need about 15 minutes for cooking this sauce.
Switch off the gas and add some drops of lemon juice; the right quantity depends on your personal taste (it shouldn't be more then the half of the juice of half a lemon). Season to taste with salt and pepper (if you like) and stir. If you like, you can also add 1 tablespoon dried chives.
Serve at once.
