"My lifelong search for a good and crispy deep-fried eggplant recipe has been solved...with the addition of a secret ingredient: tapioca flour! These are so yummy and a great base to be tweaked into any flavor profile you wish. Interesting mix-ins could be sesame seeds with an Asian dipping sauce or cumin and cayenne and a salsa dip."
