I adapted this recipe from Parivash Shafi`i, a wonderful cook from the Golsar neighborhood of Rasht. For the locals, the dish is considered to be one of the essential condiments/mazzeh on a Caspian table/sofreh. Its name, kaleh, means “raw.” Only the eggplant is grilled/kabab. The rest of the ingredients are used fresh and raw.
