Eggplants in batter fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry eggplants in batter in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. It is best to take seasonal domestic ground eggplants. Take not very large specimens - we will cut the eggplant into circles and they should not be very large in size. The oil can be any vegetable oil: from sunflower to sesame. Also flour: I use wheat, but it can be any other. For example, rice will come in very handy here.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the flour in a plate or other convenient container and mix with salt until smooth.

3. STEP 3

   

   Break the egg into a bowl and beat with a fork. Wash the egg first in running water and soda, as there may be harmful bacteria on its surface.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the eggplant, dry it, cut off the stem and cut into circles 3-5 mm thick. I would like to note that previously eggplants were soaked in salt water to remove bitterness. Current varieties of eggplant are practically not bitter and can be cooked immediately. If you are sensitive to bitterness in eggplants, you can soak the sliced ​​mugs for 10 minutes in salted water.

5. STEP 5

   

   Dip each eggplant slice into the egg.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then roll in flour. For a thicker batter, you can dip it in the egg again and bread it in flour again.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the eggplant mugs and fry over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Place the finished delicious eggplants in batter on a dish or plate. Read articles on these topics for how to choose a frying pan and oil for frying. Links at the end of this recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   I sprinkled the prepared crispy eggplants in egg batter with chopped garlic, this is optional. You can also sprinkle them with chopped herbs. I would like to note that they are delicious both hot and cold.

   Bon appetit!

I prepared eggplants in batter fried in a frying pan. I cut the eggplant into thin slices (up to 0.5 cm), but still decided to add some salt to make sure that there would be no bitterness. After 10 minutes, I squeezed out the eggplants. I used wheat flour for the batter; I didn’t add any salt to it; the eggplants were already salted. I dipped each circle into beaten egg and flour twice. Fry the eggplants until the batter is browned. Simple, fast and delicious! Thank you, Natalya!

I started the eggplant relay race))) Well done, the recipe is very tasty and the eggplants look simply delicious, the cheese and egg mixture gives a beautiful color, both peppers add a sharpness and heat to the taste, an excellent dish! You can also add garlic, it goes well with eggplants. We’re thinking about sitting at the dacha this weekend and flooding the bathhouse, so we can’t do without eggplants, that’s for sure!

Yes, Shurochka, as she promised. So get connected. You can, of course, add garlic, but this recipe attracted my attention precisely because it is without garlic. It’s not always the right time to add garlic, and the smell of garlic sometimes gets in the way if you go to the theater after dinner, for example, or you’ve been invited to visit. Chili peppers add quite a bit of spiciness to the dish, in my opinion. But if you don’t plan to “go out into society,” then add garlic, just for your health! It really brings out the flavor of the eggplant very well.
