Fried eggplant (or fried aubergine)

Patlıcan kızartma[1] or Patlıcan kızartması[2][3] (Turkish for fried eggplant) is an eggplant dish from the Turkish cuisine. It is such a common dish during summer months that this season used to be called "patlıcan kızartma ayları" (fried eggplant months)[4] in Ottoman Istanbul where this generalized frying caused huge fires and destroyed entire mahalles due to the abundance of old wooden houses.[5][6]

Turkish style patlıcan kızartması is usually eaten with a garlic yogurt and/or tomato sauce. In the Arab cuisine fried eggplant is served with a tahini sauce.
