Mirza Ghassemi (Persian: میرزاقاسمی, Mirzā-Ghāsemi) is a Northern Iranian (originally from Gilan province) appetizer or main based on tandoori or kabobed aubergine, distinct to the Caspian Sea region. The dish consists of aubergines seasoned (eggplant) with garlic, tomato, turmeric, oil or butter, salt and pepper bound together with eggs.[1] It can be prepared as a casserole dish,[1] and is usually served with bread or rice.
The variant made with zucchini instead of aubergine is called Kadoo Ghassemi.
