Ingredients

- A quarter teaspoon pepper powder or any other preferred spice or seasoning
- Vegetable cooking oil

Steps
Slice the eggplant into 3 mm (1/8 of an inch, or 1/3 of a cm) thick slices. You can slice in rounds or lengths; the preference is yours but round slices tend to be easier to handle.

Beat the egg with a quarter teaspoon of fine salt. Add the pepper powder to beaten egg and whisk gently.- Dip the eggplant slices into the egg batter.
Coat the dipped slices with the breadcrumbs. Place the breadcrumbs into a wide bowl or flat plate and lay the slices direct into the breadcrumbs, and then turn over to coat the other side.- Lay on a tray or plate while waiting for frying. Keep this tray or plate close to the stove top for ease of use.
Fry the coated eggplant slices in oil until golden brown in color.
Drain the oil off each fritter on wax paper, kitchen towel, or cardboard.
Serve. Eggplant fritters can be eaten and served in many different and creative ways. They can be served as a meal of their own, accompanied by salad and vegetables, or they can be served as a side dish.- They make great snacks.
- Pickles, flavored mayonnaise, and sauces go well with eggplant fritters.
