- 1.5 lb Zucchini(medium-sized, cut into 1-inch rounds)
- 1/2 lb Ground lamb or beef

In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Brown the ground meat, breaking it up with a spoon. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in half the minced garlic, allspice, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a separate pot, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini rounds and sautรฉ for about 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Add the remaining minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt and cornstarch (or flour) until smooth. Gradually add about 1 cup of water to the yogurt mixture, whisking constantly to thin it out.

Pour the thinned yogurt mixture into the pot with the zucchini. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Be careful not to boil vigorously, as the yogurt can curdle.

Gently stir in the cooked meat mixture into the yogurt sauce with the zucchini. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh mint if desired. This dish is traditionally served with rice.

- โTo prevent the yogurt from curdling, ensure it's at room temperature before mixing with cornstarch and gradually heating.
- โSautรฉing the zucchini and browning the meat separately adds depth of flavor.
- โIf the sauce is too thick, add a little more water or broth to reach desired consistency.
