Mελιτζάνες Tηγανητές (melitzana tiganites) Fried eggplant/aubergine

My husband like the eggplant/aubergine in bake, fried or grilled. For me; I don’t really like it but the fried with batter it’s almost the same like mix fried veggies; the Indonesian fried snack (bala-bala/ba’wan).

Also this receipt is easier then other eggplant recipes.

And this type of food is suitable for Asian and Mediterranean cuisines. For my Indonesian friend you can try this too; the preparations only take around 15-20 minutes, here are the ingredients;

1. 1 medium size eggplant or aubergine

2. 1 cup all purpose use flour

3. Salt & pepper

4. 1 cup water (the more liquids, the more crispy the batter)

5. Corn oil /veggie oil for frying

6. Vinegar

7. 1 teaspoon Olive oil

The Batter:

Mix the flour with water, salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil until well mixture with fork or the mixer.

 

The Preparations:

- Cut the eggplant and aubergine in thin slices (if you like crispy then make the slice thinner) 

- Mix well and cover all the slices into batter 

- Heat the oil in pan for deep fried

- After the oil enough hot, insert the slices with batter 

- Cool down into paper towel

- Serve with chilly sauce, mayonnaise or garlic crush with olive oil (in Greece serve with this)

 

Then it’s ready to serve. Try the different sauce; the chilly, mayonnaise or garlic; anyway you like it.

Enjoy, give feed back after you try this; thx & GBU
