Remember that when frying or stewing, eggplants greatly decrease in size, because they contain a lot of water. Medium-sized fruits have the best taste. They have a lot of pulp, and the skin is soft. By the way, cutting the skin of eggplant is not necessary at all. It is not harmful, in the process of cooking it becomes soft and gives the dish a characteristic purple color.

I haven’t tried this eggplant recipe yet. Although it looks very appetizing. Tell me, are they not too spicy? Can children eat this? The recipe contains garlic and hot peppers. Or you can not add these gradients?
