Number Of Ingredients 13

2 eggplants, sliced 1/2-inch thick
coarse salt to taste
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ginger powder
½ cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
1 pinch Espelette chile pepper flakes
sea salt to taste
1 cup mango chutney, or to taste

Steps:

  • Spread eggplant slices on paper towels. Sprinkle generously with coarse salt. Let excess moisture drain from eggplant, about 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
  • Combine sesame seeds, hazelnuts, coriander seeds, turmeric, and ginger in a small skillet over low heat. Toast until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in bread crumbs.
  • Press eggplant slices into bread crumb mixture to coat both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry eggplants in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Sprinkle fresh cilantro, Espelette pepper, and sea salt over eggplants. Serve with mango chutney.
