To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Lamb and Eggplant Mtsvadi:

- 1 lb lamb, cut into cubes
- 2 medium eggplants, cut into cubes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil

For the Mint Yogurt Sauce:

- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
To start, combine the lamb, eggplant, onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and olive oil in a large bowl. Mix well to ensure that the lamb and eggplant are evenly coated with the spices and oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
When you are ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the lamb and eggplant onto skewers, alternating between the two. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and the eggplant is tender and slightly charred.
While the skewers are cooking, prepare the mint yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mint, garlic, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once the skewers are done, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the mint yogurt sauce over the top of the skewers and serve immediately.

The tender lamb and eggplant are perfectly seasoned with a blend of spices, while the mint yogurt sauce adds a refreshing and tangy flavor to the dish.
