It\u2019s velvety, it\u00b4s creamy and also has a crunch.
It\u00b4s refreshing, it\u00b4s cooling and has a sweet touch.
It\u00b4s garlicy but smells like perfume.
It\u00b4s MAST-O-KHIYAR !!!!<\/p>

Alone the name of it makes me comfortable. It\u00b4sounds so romantic and noble!
This yoghurt and cucumber based Persian dip has everything that you need to add an extravagant touch to your meal. From the freshness of yoghurt and cucumbers to a pleasant sweet chew from the raisins, a little crunch from the nuts and an attractive rose petal garnish to please the visual senses.<\/p>

So, let\u00b4s get started:<\/p>

What do you need?
<\/strong>Thick yoghurt, cucumber, some crunchy nuts, some raisins, rose petals. Garlic is optional. Salt and pepper I always have on hand. I\u2019m betting that you do too!<\/p>

What if you don\u00b4t have all ingredients?
<\/strong>You do need at least yoghurt and cucumber to start off with.
Rest is all up to your imagination. Pistachios are not easily accessible everywhere so a smattering of chopped walnuts would also do well here. The raisins can be replaced with sweetened cranberries, currants or sultanas. Dried mint adds a wonderful flavour but so does the fresh one. But again, its entirely up to you.
Fact is: It comes together very easily and very quickly.<\/p>

What to serve with?
<\/strong>Mast-o-Khiyar is delicious all by itself, but also makes a wonderful accompaniment for other dishes, grilled meat or veggies in particular. It\u2019d also be lovely with rice pilaf or fried snacks.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
