Eggplant and pepper fry with yogurt is a Turkish home-style dish of fried eggplant and peppers topped or served with garlic yogurt. The vegetables turn tender, with browned edges, while the cool, tangy yogurt balances their rich, savory flavour.
In Turkey it is often served as a meze or alongside other dishes, with bread for scooping; it also works well as a side at a shared meal. It brings vegetables and fibre to the table, though frying makes it relatively rich in oil, while yogurt adds some protein. For a lighter version, roast the vegetables with a little oil and serve them with garlic yogurt.
