For the Seven Spices Melanzani, wash and slice the melanzani. Sprinkle well with salt and let stand for half an hour.
Rinse the melanzani thoroughly and pat dry.
In a bowl, whip the egg whites (don’t whip them to stiff peaks, but don’t let them get all runny either).
In a second bowl, mix the cornstarch and sifting spice mixture and a pinch of salt until well blended.
Pull the slices of melanzana first through the egg white and then place them on both sides in the starch/spice mixture.
Fry one at a time in the hot oil until crispy.
The Seven Spices Melanzani go well with your exotic rice dish.
