Fried eggplant and peppers with yogurt is made by frying bite-size eggplant and peppers until tender, then topping them with yogurt, often mixed with garlic. Drain the vegetables well before adding the yogurt so the dish does not turn greasy or watery.
Plain, unsweetened yogurt works best with fried eggplant and peppers with yogurt. Thick Greek-style yogurt gives a creamy topping, while regular yogurt is more traditional in many homes; stir in crushed garlic and a little salt if you like a savory sauce.
For fried eggplant and peppers with yogurt, use properly heated oil and fry the eggplant in uncrowded batches. Pat the cut pieces dry first, then drain them after frying; overcrowding cools the oil and can leave the vegetables greasy.

Fried eggplant and peppers with yogurt is usually served warm or at room temperature with cool yogurt on top. Let the fried vegetables cool slightly before adding the yogurt, or the topping may loosen and become watery.

Fried eggplant and peppers with yogurt is a Turkish home-style dish of tender fried vegetables topped with cool yogurt. The yogurt may be served plain or seasoned with garlic, depending on the cook; the dish also turns up as part of a meze spread.
The soft, slightly sweet vegetables contrast with the yogurt’s tang, making this a welcome side alongside grilled dishes or rice, or something to scoop up with bread. The vegetables contribute fibre, while frying adds fat and the yogurt provides some protein. For a lighter version, roast the eggplant and peppers with a little oil and add the yogurt just before serving.
