Fried Eggplant With Yogurt Sauce

"My mother's recipe. This is a very simple side dish to go along with an Indian or Middle Eastern meal. It's great over rice. The eggplant will be soft, not crunchy, so if you prefer a crunchy fried eggplant then this is not the recipe for you :) Cooking time does not include the time it takes for the oil to heat up. Enjoy."

directions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet, season both sides of eggplant slices with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cumin over all of the slices (on one side).
  • Fry eggplant slices in batches, they are done when they turn a light golden brown. Place cooked eggplant on a paper-towel-covered plate to drain off some of the oil. Allow to cool to room temperature, transfer to serving platter. Spoon yogurt sauce over the top just before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
  • Yogurt Sauce: using a fork, beat the yogurt in a bowl with salt and pepper (to taste) until smooth.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi, I'm Nina and I live in sunny Phoenix. I looooove cooking and trying new foods. I was so excited to find Recipezaar, My family is Southeast Asian so I grew up eating lots of rice, curries and a variety of exotic fish and unusual veggies - my tastes have remained eclectic in adulthood. My rice cooker is my best friend and anything spicy is a winner in my book. I have a wonderful "family" in AZ, my awesome BF and our dog Chunky. They are most often my guinea pigs when it comes to recipes. I would love to incorporate my love for cooking into my life somehow by opening my own restaurant or catering service someday. First I'm hoping to get a shiny new MBA :)
