Ingredients

  • 2 eggplants
  • salt to your taste
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 100 g mayonnaise
  • 2 garlic cloves

Instructions

  • Thoroughly rinse all the eggplants under cool running water. Cut the plant into 1/3 inches (5-7 mm) thick slices. Get rid of the stem and never peel it (it helps slices to keep form after heat-treating).
  • Put cut slices of eggplant into a deep bowl and sprinkle salt over them. Stir slices in the bow so that salt covers all of them evenly, and set the bowl aside for 10 minutes.
  • Drain all the liquid that formed from the eggplants. You can squeeze the extra liquid out of the slices but be very gentle.
  • Heat vegetable oil in the skillet over medium to high heat.
  • Spread flour on a flat surface. You can use a simple flat plate for the purpose (add garlic powder for extra flavor). Dip every side of the slices into flour before placing them on the skillet.
  • Fry eggplant slices for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until the color turns golden and crunchy crust forms.
  • After cooking eggplant slices, put them on a paper towel to get rid of all the extra oil. Before serving, you can add some mayo mixed with pressed garlic on the top.
