Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb baby eggplant, sliced in 1/2-inch rounds ( substitution:
3 cups whole milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chickpea flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp dry yeast , bloomed in 1/2 cup of warm water
1 pinch saffron , bloomed in 1 quart water
6 cups canola oil
herbed yogurt sauce, recipe follows
1 cup whole milk yogurt
1 lemon , zested
1/2 clove garlic, grated
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions:

Add eggplant slices to a large bowl and cover with milk.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and chickpea flour. In the center of the flour mixture, make a well and add the egg. Slowly pour in the bloomed yeast and saffron water while mixing with a wooden spoon to make a loose batter. Whisk to remove clumps and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm area for 45 minutes, or until the batter has risen in size.
Heat the oil to 475 degrees F.
Dip the eggplant, 1 slice at a time, in the batter and carefully add to the hot oil. Fry until the batter turns golden and begins to puff up. Remove slices to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve immediately with Herbed Yogurt Sauce for dipping.
Herbed Yogurt Sauce:
Place the yogurt in a small bowl. Add the lemon zest, garlic, and mint, and gently fold to combine. Set aside.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
