Low-fat Ali Nazik is made with roasted eggplant mashed into garlic yogurt and topped with seasoned meat. The lighter version uses lean lamb or beef and less cooking fat than many traditional preparations.
Low-fat Ali Nazik is a lighter take on Ali Nazik kebab, a dish associated with Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey. Its signature combination is smoky eggplant and yogurt beneath a hot meat topping.
Low-fat Ali Nazik mixes roasted eggplant with garlic yogurt. Hünkar beğendi usually folds eggplant into a creamy béchamel-style base instead. Both may be served with meat, but the eggplant mixture is what distinguishes them.
Roast and peel the eggplants, drain them, then mash them with garlic and yogurt to make low-fat Ali Nazik. Cook lean, seasoned meat separately and spoon it on top just before serving; let the eggplant cool before mixing in the yogurt.
Low-fat Ali Nazik can be made with lamb or beef. Lean ground meat is convenient, while trimmed cubes give a more substantial topping; cook either with a small amount of fat and avoid overcooking so the meat stays tender.
Low-fat Ali Nazik is often served with rice, flatbread, or pide. A crisp salad or grilled vegetables also work well alongside the smoky eggplant and yogurt, especially if you want a lighter meal without another rich side.
The yogurt in low-fat Ali Nazik can turn watery if the roasted eggplant is still hot or has not been drained. Let the eggplant cool and release excess liquid, then mix it with thick yogurt shortly before serving.
Yes, you can prepare the eggplant-yogurt base and meat for low-fat Ali Nazik ahead, but store them separately in the refrigerator. Reheat the meat and add it to the chilled or cool base at serving time so the yogurt does not split.
Refrigerate leftover low-fat Ali Nazik promptly in a covered container and aim to eat it within two days. The yogurt mixture may separate if reheated, so serve leftovers cool or gently warm the meat separately before topping the base.
Yes, low-fat Ali Nazik can be made without an outdoor grill. Roast whole eggplants in a hot oven until collapsed and smoky, or char them over a gas burner; peel and drain them before mixing with garlic yogurt.

Low-Fat Ali Nazik is a lighter take on a dish from Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey: roasted eggplant mashed with yogurt, topped with lean meat, often lamb. The smoky, creamy base contrasts with the savoury meat, and the reduced-fat preparation keeps the dish from feeling too rich.
It is usually served warm as a main, with rice, flatbread or a crisp salad. For English-speaking diners, it also works well as part of a shared Mediterranean-style spread. The meat contributes protein, while eggplant and yogurt make a filling, tangy base. To keep it lighter, cook the meat with little oil and add the yogurt once the eggplant has cooled slightly.
