Prepare a second container with the water/cornflour mix + extra herbs and a third bowl with the cornflour or plain flour. 5. While still wet, dunk eggplant slices into cornflour (ensure fully coated) and then quickly into the water/cornflour mixture (ensure fully coated), and then finally into the breadcrumb mixture. 6. Fry off in a pan over medium/high heat for about 2 minutes on each side or until starting to go golden brown. 7. Finish off in the oven for about 10 minutes, let them go crispy on the outside.
