1 onion finely chopped
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
2 tbsp dried mint leaves
2 tbsp kashk
1 heaped tsp turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste

Fry onion. Once the onion has become translucent add the turmeric. Put to one side.
Fry garlic and put to one side.
Fry dry mint (not straight on the heat) and put to one side.

In a bowl, mash the eggplant by hand (not in a food processor).
Heat a small amount of oil In a saucepan and add mashed eggplant, salt and pepper.
Then add 2 tablespoon of kashk the fried onion, garlic and mint (reserving a small amount of each for garnish). Combine ingredients together to form a smooth consistency.

Hi, I'm iranian and I cansay this recipe is closest to authentic one, however as I learned from my mom she always cook eggplants with kashk and fried onion and walnut and fried mint for about half an 45 min ( with a little water) then mashes it and use the rest of fried onion ,mintand kashk for garnish. In this way u dont need to fry eggplants completely , u just need them to become a little brown so it is healthier. By cooking it u also give time to kashk to be absorbed by eggplants.

Vanilla extract

Be careful to choose vanilla extract that is labeled as "pure" as opposed to the synthetic varieties. Vanilla essence is a stronger version of vanilla extract and only a couple of drops are required for a similar result.
