Before baking, stab them with a toothpick in several places. Then peel them and cut them into as small pieces as possible, until you get a mixture of them. If you baked them in the oven, first cut them into cubes and fry in a tablespoon of butter). pan, this step is also not necessary, but you will achieve that all the excess liquid evaporates.Mix lemon juice and olive oil in a cup and mix in the eggplant mixture and salt everything.Cut the garlic into as small pieces as possible, and mix with one yogurt and salt.Now add the yoghurt to the eggplant mixture and combine everything together.Pour the rest of the yoghurt over the eggplant and serve with Turkish buns, bread or as a side dish to meat dishes.
