Notes
To achieve perfectly crispy fried eggplant, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the slices. Test it by dropping a small piece of eggplant into the oil – if it sizzles and floats to the surface, you're good to go. Remember to fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature and avoid overcrowding the pan.
