5 hours ago, Kerala said:yes, the aubergine was bitter
I was looking through Google trying to find the solution and found that salting the eggplant keeps it from absorbing oil and turning to mush when it's fried. I was also musing out loud and it turns out my grandson, that is visiting me, is somewhat of an expert on eggplant. He says salting it it does little to eliminate the bitterness because the bitterness is in the peel. According to him, the solution is to either peel the eggplant completely or to cut off some of the peel in strips as you would cut the peel strips on a cucumber.
