Alinazik Kebab Tips & Tricks
-After roasting, put the eggplants in a bowl while they are hot and close the lid of the container. In this way, you can peel the shells more easily.
-If you are going to use a different meat instead of ground beef, cook slowly over low heat.
-When adding meat to eggplant yogurt, make sure it is warm. Meat that is too hot will spoil the taste of yogurt and cause it to become watery.
-When your meal is ready, adding a piece of butter on it will increase its flavor.
