Step 2:

To make the mixture, chop about 250 g (½ lb) of young eggplant and one onion into small pieces and put them in a blender jar. Add two cloves of garlic and blend until smooth.
Step 3:

Take a large bowl and add 500 g (about 1 lb) of ground meat, then the blended eggplant mixture.
Step 4:

Add ½ teaspoon of khmeli-suneli (a Georgian herb blend), ⅓ teaspoon of ground coriander, and ⅓ teaspoon of cumin to the bowl.
Step 5:

Season with salt to taste and a mix of black and red pepper, then crack in one egg.
Step 6:

Add finely chopped cilantro and dill to taste.
Step 7:

Mix everything together thoroughly, then let the mixture rest for about 20 minutes.
Step 8:

Scoop up a portion of the mixture and slap it back and forth between your hands for a minute or two, then shape it into a patty. Repeat to form the rest.
Step 9:

Dredge each patty in breadcrumbs mixed with flour.
Step 10:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat, add the patties, and fry until golden brown on each side.
Step 11:

Lay a tomato, sliced into rings, over the patties. Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
