๐ Main ingredients
- 3โ4 firm green (unripe) tomatoes
- Salt (for sweating slices)
๐ฅฃ Breading setup
- ยฝ cup all-purpose flour
- 1โ2 eggs (beaten)
- ยฝ cup cornmeal (key for crunch)
- ยฝ cup breadcrumbs (optional for extra crisp)
- ยฝ tsp paprika
- ยฝ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & black pepper
๐ซ For frying
- Vegetable oil (enough for shallow frying)
๐ฅ Quick prep tip
Slice tomatoes about ยฝ inch thick, salt them lightly, and let sit 10โ15 minutes.
This pulls out moisture so they fry crisp instead of soggy.
If you want, I can also give you the step-by-step frying method + dipping sauces (like spicy mayo or remoulade) or a crispy air-fryer version.
