Description

Mast-o-Khiar is a classic Iranian side dish made from strained or whole-fat yogurt mixed with finely chopped cucumbers, dried or fresh mint, and sometimes garlic. The yogurt provides a creamy texture, while the cucumbers add a refreshing crunch. Traditionally, this dish is seasoned with salt and occasionally garnished with walnuts or raisins for added texture. It is served chilled and pairs well with grilled meats, stews, or as a dip with bread.
