Super simple fried eggplant with added layered flour, also no added breadcrumbs.
Fried snacks can always make us crave. Sometimes we are not strong enough to avoid fried snacks. What we can do is reduce the portion we eat, and also make our own fried snacks at home.
Making fried snacks at home can be one way for us to be healthier. That's because we can control the type of oil used, as well as the flour ingredient used to mix the fried snack mixture.
Out there, at the street food vendors, especially in my area, there are many sellers who use oil repeatedly for frying. This will have a serious impact on our health. So it's better to make it at home if we really crave fried foods.
FRIED EGGPLANT
I'm really craving fried eggplant this time. It was actually my fault. I always postpone making side dishes from eggplant. In the end it makes me tempted to make fried eggplant every time I open the refrigerator 🤣🤣🤣
So, this time, I will make fried eggplant. With the simplest method and the simplest ingredients.
Actually, fried eggplant already tastes good with any addition. But we need a slightly crispy sensation on the surface of the eggplant slices. That's why there are many variations of recipes that add flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Honestly, I hate flour coatings especially those that use all-purpose flour.
I will use maizena flour / corn flour instead of all purpose flour. I also don't use breadcrumbs.
THE BIG IMPACT OF CORIANDER POWDER
Maybe you are more familiar with garlic powder. In Indonesian cooking, we often use coriander powder. For example, to season tempeh and tofu.
This time, I will also use coriander powder which will have a big impact on the taste of fried eggplant.
THE INGREDIENTS
- 2 long eggplants, or one big eggplant
- 1/2 cup of cornstarch flour / maizena
- 1 teaspoon of coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- (optional) 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon of salt for soaking eggplant pieces
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the eggplant at an angle so that the eggplant cut is oval in shape.
Soak eggplant pieces in water with a teaspoon of salt added. 5-15 minutes.
Prepare the corn flour mixture. Add coriander powder, turmeric powder and salt into corn flour. Then mix well.
Heat the oil. Then prepare the eggplant pieces. Make sure the eggplant pieces have been drained. Do a slight squeezing movement to release the water content in the eggplant pieces. Add eggplant pieces into the corn flour mixture.
Fry eggplant pieces until golden brown. Remove and let sit for a moment to drain the oil.
SERVED
Serve fried eggplant with your favorite sauce. I served those fried eggplant pieces with spicy sauce and sesame seeds. Also, some celery leaves as garnishes.
In fact, I also fry eggplant with the air-fryer method. To compare the two.
Unfortunately, with the air-fryer method still there are a few flour crumbs that look undercooked. But the inside of the eggplant is already soft. Even so, it still tasted good and I finished it 🤣. It's just that I didn't take a photo. Next time, I'll just do the air-fryer method with no added corn flour, or I need to experiment more about the timing process.😊
So, what is your favorite fried snack? Oh, also don't forget the fries. Yes, right? Well, happy holidays! ❤️❤️❤️

I must steal your idea, I usually don't use maizena flour but it's a great idea, I agree with you from the oil we use the fried stuff can be really heavy, I like to use less heavier oil for frying but it's not easy, by the way I love eggplants a lot and fried eggplants looks so yummy 😋
Corn flour is really help to fry veggies 😋😋😋
I have already prepared eggplants, roasted, baked but never fried, what an interesting recipe I have to try it one day. 😀
I have steamed eggplant too 😛 so many ways. Just be creative and that's okay 😊
I don't usually like egg plants but fried snacks of egg plants are really perfect to my taste buds. Moreover, they way you present dishes is always welcomed by my stomach.
Frying eggplant create delicious taste for people who did not like eggplant before 😊
Finally, I have a way to try Eggplant. Thanks for always teaching.
So many ways to fry eggplant for sure. You can add more flour, or not 😊
Thanks for your guide. I am supposed to have replied but I was having the RC issue.
Yesterday I made fried eggplants, but I did them in that traditional way, with the breadcrumbs 😅
Yeah That's so good too. I did this way because have no breadcrumbs stocks and indeed too heavy, and needed more time 😅 meanwhile, the results of those snacks just gone in couple minutes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It means it was very tasty if the eggplant snack disappeared in a couple of minutes 🥂

Looks great, chief. Cilantro is such a delicious spice. We use it in many dishes in Turkey. It might be nice to consume it as a snack.
yeep, and quick time to finish all 🤣🤣🤣
I like this recipe eggplant is alwaya been my favorite. But it's beens months since I last had it. Eggplant is the least favorite at home, but maybe I'll try this recipe. Sad though we don't have those seasonings you have.
When such food is made at home, it is very good for our health because we all know that all the things we consume are good.

Eggplant if fried is one of my faves. I just read from you that it can be served as a snack. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I can cook this at home someday.
In Indonesia, these snacks are common things 😊 you can also add breadcrumbs if you want like general crispy eggplants out there 😊
