Instructions
- Combine all the marination ingredients in a bowl. Keep aside.
- Cut off the eggplant stem end and slice your eggplant into ⅕ inch thick slices (½ cm).
- Place the eggplant slices immediately after slicing in a bowl and pour and toss the lemon juice over the eggplant so that they don't brown that quickly.
- Place the eggplant slices on your cutting board and poke into each multiple times with a fork to create tiny holes so that the marination infuses them better. Flip them and poke into the other side too.
- Place eggplant slices into a shallow dish (I use rectangular baking dishes) and pour the marination over the slices. Make sure they are all covered with the marination.
- Leave the eggplant slices to marinate for 20–40 minutes so that they get infused with flavors. Flip them in-between.
- Line a plate with kitchen paper towel and keep aside. You will be placing your hot pan-fried eggplant slices on the paper to soak in excess leftover oils.
- Heat a skillet with the oil and keep over a medium-high heat setting. Wait for the pan to get hot. Test if it's hot enough by dropping a marination drop into the oil, if it's sizzling, you can place your first batch of eggplant slices into the skillet. Shake off excess liquids from your slices and slide them slowly into the pan. Be cautious, hot oil drops will jump up! Don't overcrowd the pan and regulate the heat.
- Fry the eggplant slices on both sides, golden brown. Keep an eye on the heat and reduce or increase wherever needed (don't move from the stove).
- Take out the first batch of fried eggplant slices and place them next to each other on the paper lined plate. Place them on another serving plate after 1–2 minutes. Repeat the frying process with the second batch.
- Serve up hot.

Notes
- 1 large Eggplant = 9 oz or 250 grams, or use smaller eggplants as I did. I prefer smaller ones because they make smaller bites and soak in better.
- 2 servings = about 30 small eggplant slices or 10-15 large eggplant slices.
