Ingredients

Method

1
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant slices in a single layer and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 8-10 minutes total, working in batches if necessary. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
2
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped mint, cilantro, chives, and sliced green chili. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
In another bowl, toss the cucumber slices with a pinch of salt and let sit for 2-3 minutes to release excess moisture, then pat dry with paper towels.
4
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Warm each flour tortilla for about 1-2 minutes per side until pliable and lightly toasted.
5
Spread a generous layer of the minted yogurt mixture over each warm tortilla, leaving a border around the edges.
6
Arrange the cooked eggplant slices and cucumber slices on top of the yogurt mixture, distributing evenly across each tortilla.
7
Fold or roll each tortilla to desired shape, pressing gently to hold the filling in place. Arrange on serving plates and garnish with paprika before serving.
