Ingredients (4 servings)
- 6 small eggplants
- one glass kashk, (kashk is thick whey, and should be purchased in Iran or at an Iranian store)
- one spoon tomato paste
- 2 medium onions
- 2 spoons (or 200 grams of fresh mint) dried mint
- cooking oil
- salt
- black pepper
Direction
Peel eggplants and slice length-wise to a thickness of 1 cm. Add salt and pepper and fry on both sides on medium heat until golden. Add half a cup of hot water to one spoon of tomato paste and mix well. Add to eggplants and cook over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes.
Peel onions and slice thinly. Fry in oil until golden. Also fry dried mint in oil for a few minutes. Alternatively, fresh mint can be used. If so, wash and finely chop mint, then fry in oil. Pour kashk evenly over eggplants; follow with onions and mint, then serve.
