Mast-o-Khiar is a cool, refreshing Persian dip made from strained yogurt, finely chopped cucumbers, and dried mint, often garnished with raisins, walnuts, or rose petals. Light, tangy, and mildly sweet, it’s typically served chilled as a side dish, dip, or appetizer. Originating from central Iran, especially Tehran and Shiraz, Mast-o-Khiar is a staple accompaniment to grilled meats, rice dishes, and summer meals. It’s loved for its digestive properties and soothing contrast to heavier Persian main courses.
