Mirza Ghasemi is a traditional Persian dish that originated in the Gilan province of Iran, located along the Caspian Sea. It is a delicious, smoky dip named after Mohammad Qasim Khan, the governor of Rasht during the reign of Nasser al-Din Shah in the 19th century.

Aubergines are popular in Persian cuisine and are frequently used in dips and stews because of their ability to absorb rich flavours.
