Kashk Bademjoon Recipe (Iranian Eggplant Dish)

I have tasted this dish in an iranian restaurant in Dubai. It is so delicious and easy to make, you can serve it with pita bread. They call it kashk in Iran , in Turkey we say Kaymak. I am not sure if you can find it wherever you are but it suppose to be sold in Middle eastern groceries. I think sour cream would be fine with it. My friend told kashk is something salty but Kaymak is not, so i used some salt more .. So you can just taste before heat off, and add more salt if needed.
Enjoy!!

Peymacun Recipe (Turkish style pizza)

This dish originally cooked with ground meat and called "lahmacun", this is the version with cheese, in turkish cheese mean "peynir" so we call this "peymacun" :)
The size is normally bigger, I wanted to make it smaller, it's a nice appetizer, mine is a bit crispy, the way I liked it, if you don't like crispy, you can add a bit water in the cheese mixture or maybe chopped tomato, with tomato juice it'd be softer.
