Eggplant preparation

1. Cut the eggplant into 2 inch lengths.

2. Make a few vertical slits along the cut eggplant with a barrier stick.

3. Sprinkle it with salt and rub.

4. Let it set for 10 minutes or more to let the eggplant juice drain. As a result, we get a crispy eggplant.

Breading

1. In a bowl, combine flour, corn starch, baking powder, turmeric powder, ground black pepper, paprika powder, and salt. Mix well.

2. Coat each piece of eggplant with the flour mixture.

Frying

1. In a pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat.

2. Fry the coated eggplant in batches for 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

3. Flip to cook the other side.

4. Once the eggplant is fully cooked and crisp, remove it from frying. Use a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

5. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce. Share and enjoy eating.
