Persian Yogurt with Shallots

Mast-o-Moosir is one of the most beloved traditional Persian appetizers, made with rich, creamy strained yogurt blended with finely chopped Persian shallots (moosir), known for their delicate, mild garlic-onion flavor. Lightly seasoned and served chilled, this refreshing dip offers a smooth, tangy taste that perfectly complements grilled kababs, wraps, rice dishes, and fresh lavash bread. Its cool, creamy texture balances the bold flavors of Persian barbecue, making it a classic side that’s both satisfying and refreshing. Whether enjoyed as an appetizer, dip, or accompaniment to your meal, Mast-o-Moosir is a timeless favorite and an essential part of an authentic Persian dining experience.
