Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Place the diced Eggplant in a colander and sprinkle with tsp Salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all Batter ingredients until smooth.
Heat the Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dip the eggplant pieces into the Batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
Carefully place the battered eggplant into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Season with remaining Salt and Pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
