Directions for fried eggplant
Peel eggplant; cut in strips about 1/2-inch wide and 3 inches in length.
Place eggplant strips in a large bowl, cover with water and sprinkle
with 1 teaspoon salt. Let soak 1 hour; drain and pat dry with paper
towels.
Combine flour, salt, baking powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder,
cayenne, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Add beaten eggs, milk,
and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Beat until smooth. Heat oil over medium
heat until hot. If deep-frying, heat to about 365°. Dip dry eggplant
strips in batter, let excess batter drip off; fry eggplant strips
in batches in hot oil until fried eggplant is golden brown. Fried
eggplant strips serve 4 to 6.
*You may substitute equal parts dried crumbled oregano, basil, marjoram,
and rosemary for the Italian seasoning in the fried eggplant batter.
