Why Khoresh Bademjan deserves more attention

Khoresh Bademjan rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The rich and saffron-gilded complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using fenugreek correctly takes real skill.

the sofreh spread on the floor is the traditional Iranian dining setting. I encountered it first in a communal sofreh tablecloth feast and that context helped me understand it properly. doogh yoghurt drink is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Khoresh Bademjan is the dish to start with.
