Eggplant in batter fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. It is best to take domestic ground eggplants, so it is preferable to prepare this snack during the eggplant season. Take a not very large specimen, - we will cut the eggplant into circles and it is necessary that they are not very large. The oil can be any vegetable: from sunflower to sesame. Also flour: I use wheat, but it can be any other. For example, rice will be very useful here.

2. Step 2:

   

   Mix flour with salt until smooth.

3. Step 3:

   

   Beat the egg with a fork.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cut off the stalk of the eggplant and cut into circles 3-5 mm thick. I want to note that earlier eggplants were soaked in salt water to eliminate bitterness. The current varieties of eggplant are practically not bitter and they can be cooked immediately. If you are sensitive to the bitterness in eggplants, you can soak the sliced mugs for 10 minutes in salt water.

5. Step 5:

   

   Dip each eggplant circle into an egg.

7. Step 6:

   

   Then roll in flour. For a denser batter, you can dip it in egg again and pan it in flour again.

8. Step 7:

   

   Heat the oil in a frying pan, spread the eggplant mugs and fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.

9. Step 8:

   

   I sprinkled the eggplant with chopped garlic. I want to note that they are delicious both hot and cold.

    Bon appetit!
