    I like this version way better then frying the potatoes and eggplants. I also never liked béchamel so this yogurt substitute is great!
    I never make it because I find moussaka very heavy. this version seems to be a lot healthier and less of that fired heavy taste.
    I love it and now I will finally make a moussaka :)

    Θα μας αφήσεις να κάνουμε δίαιτα; καλοκαίρι έρχεται 😂 Πάντως είναι πανέξυπνο. Το γιαούρτι αντί μπεσαμελ το έχω κάνει στο παρελθόν, είναι όμως πιο νόστιμο αν ο κιμάς είναι απο αρνί, αντί απο μοσχάρι.
