These deep-fried eggplant slices are a great appetizer. Serve with bread and tarator sauce.

I've always loved cooking chicken an my family love eating it

This is the 2nd dish which I had served for the lunch event at The Simpler Living. I was browsing thru' my recipe repertoire for a suitable side after the egg and cheese dish, but couldn't find any. Somehow or rather, this dish just popped into my head. My theme is to cook something very simple with the use of mainly vegetables; I dislike the way how some restaurants over-charge customers with fanciful seafood, caviar or truffles. Great food doesn't have to be expensive and fancy. It just needed to be done right, don't you agree?This is actually like lasagna; a dish to be placed in the middle of a dinner table where everyone can just grab their share. It is meant to be messy. But Chef Oliver Glowig turned the dish into something elegant. Yes, this recipe is inspired by him. Now, the question is, can I take this to another level? I somehow thought of a way, which is by smoking the aubergine parmigiana while it is baking. I also added liquid smoke into the tomatoes sauce to give it that extra oomph.You must be wondering why smoking the dish? Chef Oliver Glowig uses a combination of fresh mozzarella, parmigiano and scamorza. Scamorza is a special kinda dried smoked mozzarella available in Italy. I can't find it anywhere here in Singapore, so I have to improvised. And I am glad to say that it turned out wonderful. I am not saying that mine is on par with Chef Oliver Glowig's, but this is the best version I have created so far. Why don't you give this recipe a try?

The amount of butter/ghee used is based on the size of the eggplants/aubergine. Low carb

Super simple and straightforward delicious!

I just love these there delicious and good as party favors or just as a side or main dish enjoy

family always loves these!!! :chef

delish. as mentioned in the pic comment... try it with a creamy mushroom sauce over the rice and you will be hooked (L)

This is the first recipe I write here, so any kind of feedback is welcome :)This is a recipe that I have eaten at home sometimes and that I looked forward to learn.It's also suitable for vegetarians just by removing the mince meat and adding more vegetables.

You don't need a gas hob to make this dish, so it's a handy recipe to make during the hot summer days. Microwaving, rather than sautéing the vegetables, makes this dish lighter and more fragrant. This is our favourite way of making this dish.Aubergines and courgettes tend to lose their texture quickly if they are cooked for too long. To cool them down quickly, spread them onto a colander straight away. They'll retain their colours too. After microwaving and if they are still hard, do not microwave again. Cook through with the residual heat. You need to squeeze out the excess moisture, but not too hard or the texture of the vegetables is ruined. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

My sons love KFC chicken, this is an Indian version of KFC for my sons ...so its a global and desi ( fusion) of crispy fried chicken ...was a total hit with my sons.....happy happy crispy ...

The cornflour stops the discs sucking up so much oil and the cornmeal gives a much better crunch than plain breadcrumbs. A squeeze of lemon and you're in heaven!
