ABOUT Mirza Ghasemi (Roasted Eggplant Dip - Persian Style) RECIPE

This traditional Persian delicacy is very much a part of the Ramadan feast. It is actually a non-veg. version of our very own baingan bharta or Israeli Shakshuka. You can term it as an appetizer / dip / side dish that is generally served with Iranian flat bread or any grilled meat / fish. This smokey and garlicky flavour dip is very yummy and can also be had with any Indian bread or plain steamed rice. For a vegetarian version you can skip the eggs.
