1 serving (medium) of Charred Eggplant with Yogurt (120 g) has 90 calories. That works out to 75 calories per 100 g. It contains 9 g of carbs, 3 g of protein, 4.8 g of fat and 3 g of fiber. Its 2.6 µg of Biotin covers 9% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 25 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Charred Eggplant with Yogurt is made by roasting eggplant until its skin blisters and the flesh turns soft, then peeling and tearing or mashing it. It is mixed or topped with garlicky yogurt and finished with olive oil, sometimes with a little red pepper. The eggplant tastes smoky and mellow, while the cool, tangy yogurt makes the dish creamy and refreshing.
In Turkey, it is commonly served as a meze or alongside grilled meat and vegetables, with bread for scooping. It is vegetable-led, with yogurt adding some protein and olive oil bringing richness. For a lighter plate, use a modest drizzle of oil and serve it with salad or other fresh vegetables.

To make charred eggplant with yogurt, char whole eggplants until soft, peel them, and roughly mash the flesh. Stir in thick yogurt, garlic, and salt, then finish with olive oil and a little red pepper for a simple meze-style dish.
Charred eggplant with yogurt is served as a dip or side, often with warm flatbread, grilled meats, or a spread of mezze. Its smoky, tangy flavor also pairs well with rice and other simple grilled vegetables.
Yes, peel the blackened skin before mixing the eggplant into charred eggplant with yogurt. Letting the hot eggplant sit covered briefly loosens the skin, and removing any burnt pieces keeps the dip tender rather than bitter.
Char whole eggplants over a gas flame, under a broiler, or on a grill until the skins blister and the flesh collapses. Turn them as they cook for even charring; a flame or grill gives the dish a smokier flavor.
Yes, thick Greek yogurt works well in charred eggplant with yogurt and helps keep the mixture creamy. If it is especially dense, loosen it with a small spoonful of water or olive oil before folding in the eggplant.
Charred eggplant with yogurt can turn watery if the roasted eggplant has not drained or the yogurt is thin. Let peeled eggplant drain before mixing, and use thick yogurt; add the salt and combine the ingredients close to serving time.
No, charred eggplant with yogurt is not the same as baba ganoush. The yogurt version is creamy and tangy, while baba ganoush commonly combines charred eggplant with tahini, lemon, and garlic, without yogurt in many traditional recipes.
Yes, you can prepare charred eggplant with yogurt ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. For the freshest texture, add the olive oil and pepper topping just before serving, and stir the mixture if a little liquid separates.
Freezing charred eggplant with yogurt is not recommended because yogurt can separate and become grainy after thawing. For meal prep, freeze the charred eggplant flesh on its own, thaw it in the refrigerator, and mix it with fresh yogurt later.
No, garlic is optional in charred eggplant with yogurt, though it is a common addition. Leave it out for a milder flavor, or use a small amount of finely grated garlic so it does not overpower the smoky eggplant.
