Ingredients for Watto's Style Fried Eggplant
To make Watto's Style Fried Eggplant, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 large eggplant sliced
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1 teaspoon smoked garlic dust
- 3 tablespoons Aussie Bush blend seasoning
- 4 tablespoons fresh grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
First, you'll need to prepare the eggplant by slicing it into rounds . The slices should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Once the eggplant is sliced, set it aside on paper towel both sides to dry out while you prepare the coating.
In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs , Aussie Bush blend, smoked garlic dust, & parmesan cheese . Mix well to ensure that the flavours are evenly distributed throughout the breadcrumbs.
Step-by-step instructions for making Watto's Style Fried Eggplant
- Dip the coated slice of eggplant into the egg mix, making sure to fully immerse it. This will help the breadcrumbs adhere to the eggplant.
- After dipping the eggplant in the egg mix, immediately transfer it to the bowl of breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the eggplant to ensure that it is fully coated.
- Repeat steps 1-3 with the remaining slices of eggplant until all are coated in
- In a large skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to a temperature of 175°C. You want enough oil to fully submerge the eggplant slices.
- Carefully place the coated eggplant slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the eggplant slices are cooked, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs, and place them on a cake rack to drain excess oil.(this is the best way to maintain the crispiness)
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining coated eggplant slices until all are cooked.
Tips and tricks for perfecting the dish
- Make sure to slice the eggplant evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the eggplant. This will help achieve a crispy texture.
- If you prefer a deeper flavor, you can increase the amount of bush blendr in the seasoning mixture.
