Roast eggplant over an open flame until charred, about 15-20 minutes.

Peel the charred skin off the eggplant and chop the flesh finely.

Mix chopped eggplant with yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Set the eggplant-yogurt mixture aside to let flavors meld.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add diced lamb to the skillet and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Stir in diced tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and salt; simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the lamb mixture rest for a few minutes.

Spread the eggplant-yogurt mixture on a serving platter.

Top with the lamb mixture and garnish with chopped parsley.

Serve with warm pita bread on the side.
