The spongy nature of eggplant means that it absorbs all the spices to make every bite equally as good as the one before.
- Cut the eggplant crossways into 2cm-thick slices. Place the slices, in a single layer, on a large plate. Combine the sugar, salt and turmeric in a small bowl. Evenly sprinkle the eggplant slices with half the turmeric mixture. Turn the eggplant slices over and repeat with the remaining turmeric mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 3 hours to develop the flavours.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 3 slices of eggplant and cook for 2 minutes each side or until eggplant is tender and golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices, reheating pan between batches. Serve immediately.
