MMMMM------------------------INGREDIENTS-----------------------------
      1 c  Peeled and coarsley chopped
           -eggplant or zucchini
    1/2 c  All purpose flour
    1/2 c  Dried bread crumbs (very fin
           -e)
    1/2 c  Milk
      1    Egg
           Vegetable oil for frying
           Powdered sugar is optional
 
   Combine seasoning mix ingerdients is a small bowl, mixing thoroughly.
  Sprinkle the vegetables evenly with about 1/2 tsp of the mix. Place
  the flour in a small bowl and the breadcrumbs in another. Add 1 tsp
  of the seasoning mix to the flour and one tsp to the breadcrumbs,
  mixing each well. (Use any leftover mix to season other vegetables
  before cooking. In a seperate small bowl combine the milk and egg
  until well blended. Heat 1 inch oil in a 2 qt. saucepan or deep fryer
  to 350 degrees. Just before frying, dredge the chopped vegetables in
  the seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Work quickly so flour doesn't
  get too moist; it's best to use your hands for this, but a slotted
  spoon will do. Then coat well with the milk mixture, then quickly
  with the breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. Place the vegetables in hot
  oil until dark golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, making sure to
  seperate the vegetable pieces as you drop them into the oil. Adjust
  heat as necessary to keep at 350 degrees. Drain and serve
  immediately. Sprinle lightly with powdered sugar (If desired) Source:
