I hate to say iit but you have to fry egg plant right to not be oily.
Dust or flip in corn starch dip in egg wash flip in bread crumbs fry in hot peanut oil.
Bread crumbs are preferred because they brown sooner and you don't over cook the egg. plant
If done correctly they arent greasy and if picked small not bitter.
Just like squash pick before the seeds are mature.
The larger ones should be picked before the inner stem gets so hard you have to have wire cutters to harvest them.
Cook with tomatoes and onion in shallow pan without oil.
Start oinions first then the egg plant and tomatoes.
Use peppers and garlic if desired.
Just remember always put the tomatoes and egg plant in last and don't over cook.
To draw water from egg plant cover slices in salt for a while and then rinse the salt off.
This makes a better product.
It wil have the consistency of leather then cook in your favorite recipe.
Just but a few of the things I do with egg plant.
