Mast-o Moosir (ماست موسیر) is one of my absolute favorite dips of all time!
Back home I wouldn't host a party without having this dip on my table!
Mast-o Moosir is supper creamy, reach and tasty yet so simple! It’s pairs beautifully with chips or as a side dish to any kebab.
Moosir or Persian Shalot grow in the foothills of Zagros mountains. It’s very uniq in taste and unlike its name, taste and look totally different than regular shallot.
Moosir is usually sold in dried form and all you have to do is to rehydrate it. Where you can find it? Well, good news is it's available in almost every Iranian supermarket! Just cover few pieces with water and let it sit at least 5 hours (preferably over night) and they get soft again.
Even though this dip is commonly just Yogurt, Moosir, salt and pepper, you can also add different ingredients to it as you like. For example fresh herbs such as mint and dill goes very well with it. You can also add dried rose petal to it or sprinkle some sumac on top of it. Also don't forget that the fattier and thicker the yogurt, the creamier, dreamier the dip will be!!
