Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F). Slice the eggplants in half and place them cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 45–60 minutes, until dark and shriveled.
- While the eggplants are roasting, mix together spelt flour, chickpea flour, soy milk, and kala namak in a shallow dish until smooth.
- Crush a cup of cornflakes into smaller pieces and place them in a separate dish for coating.
- Once the eggplants have cooled, peel off the skin and mash the flesh until smooth and creamy.
- Take a spoonful of the mashed eggplant, dip it into the coating mixture, then roll it in the crushed cornflakes.
- For the sauce, halve the cherry tomatoes and slice garlic. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté tomatoes, garlic, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes for 6–8 minutes.
- In a large frying pan, heat the remaining olive oil. Fry the breaded eggplant schnitzels for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the schnitzels atop sautéed tomato sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.

Notes
Double-dip for extra crispiness, adjust seasoning to taste, and use fresh cherry tomatoes for better flavor.
