Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
Eggs | 2 |
Salt, black pepper, turmeric | To taste |
Milk | 2 tablespoons |
Garlic | 2 cloves |
Medium eggplants | 2 |
Wash the eggplants, peel them, and cut into rings.
Prepare a saltwater solution and soak the eggplant slices for 30 minutes to remove bitterness. This also reduces oil absorption when frying.
Heat oil in a pan.
Remove eggplants from the saltwater, lightly press out excess water, and fry in hot oil.
Fry until one side turns golden, then flip to cook the other side.
Remove fried eggplants and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Finely chop the garlic.
Sauté the garlic in the same pan used for the eggplants.
When fragrant, add salt, black pepper, and turmeric.
Return the fried eggplants to the pan and mix with garlic and seasonings.
Optionally, remove extra oil before adding the eggplants back.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
Add milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until well combined. This helps make the omelet softer and fluffier.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the eggplants.
Cook over low heat with the lid on until fully set.
