    I followed all of the instructions except for the adding the cinnamon and nutmeg...which might take away the authenticity of this dish...but it came out great! I also did not have the yogurt on hand so I substututed sour cream and added a little more milk. Will make again for sure!

    Very easy to make, but could do with some 'additives' like red wine plus herbs/seasoning to give it a bit of a boost

    Excellent! Suggest using real Greek yoghurt, very lean ground beef (eggplant and potatoes soak up a lot of oil. Good with a crisp, Pinot Grigio.
