Mirza Ghasemi

Mirza ghasemi. Sounds like a human's name right? I know a malay boy's name Mirza, while Ghasemi is a Persian family name. Hehe. But i havent know anybody with name mirza ghasemi yet. He/she might be delicious. :p 

Back to the dish, this is one if the pish ghaza (appetizer or side dish) that i really like. Previously i always ordered mirza ghasemi from a persian restaurant nearby, but unfortunately the taste of mirza ghasemi there is not as tasty as before. I also ate mirza ghasemi at naab restaurant at kl but the way they served it was different as they did not mix egg in the mixture but top it with fried egg. For me, i prefer the one that mix everything together. So yummy, with lots of garlics. Make sure if you make it at home, open your windows to let the air circulate well. If not, you'll smell like a garlic the whole day. :)
