Frequently Asked Questions About Eggplant cullama
What is eggplant cullama?
Eggplant cullama is a dish made by coating eggplant with flour and egg, then frying it. The coating gives the tender eggplant a browned outer layer, setting it apart from plain fried eggplant.
How do you make eggplant cullama?
To make eggplant cullama, cut the eggplant into even pieces, coat them in flour, then dip them in beaten egg and fry until golden. Fry in batches so the pieces brown rather than steam.
Where does eggplant cullama come from?
Eggplant cullama is associated particularly with Afyonkarahisar in Turkey. Home recipes can vary, but the defining method is coating eggplant with flour and egg before frying.
How is eggplant cullama different from fried eggplant?
Eggplant cullama has a flour-and-egg coating, while ordinary fried eggplant is often fried without that batter-like layer. The coating gives cullama a more substantial browned exterior around the soft eggplant.
What do you serve with eggplant cullama?
Serve eggplant cullama with garlic yogurt or a tomato-based sauce, plus salad, bread, or rice. A fresh, crisp side balances the rich fried coating and makes it work as part of a meal.
Do you peel eggplant for eggplant cullama?
No, peeling eggplant for eggplant cullama is optional. Leave the skin on when it is thin and tender, or peel it in stripes if you prefer a softer bite; wash the eggplant first either way.
Can you bake eggplant cullama instead of frying it?
Yes, you can bake eggplant cullama, although the coating may not turn out as crisp as the fried version. Arrange the flour-and-egg-coated pieces on a lined tray, brush lightly with oil, and bake until browned and tender.
Why does eggplant cullama turn soggy or greasy?
Eggplant cullama can turn greasy if the frying oil is not hot enough, and crowded pieces can soften from trapped steam. Fry in batches and let the cooked pieces drain on a rack or paper towels.
Can you prepare eggplant cullama ahead of time?
Yes, you can fry eggplant cullama ahead, but its coating will lose some crispness as it sits. Reheat it in an oven or skillet shortly before serving; a microwave tends to soften the coating further.
How should you store leftover eggplant cullama?
Cool leftover eggplant cullama, refrigerate it in a covered container, and eat it within a few days. Reheat it in an oven or skillet to help the coating firm up; refrigeration will make it less crisp.

What is Eggplant cullama?
Eggplant cullama is a Turkish home-style dish made by coating eggplant slices in flour and beaten egg, then frying them. Recipes can vary from one household or region to another. The eggplant turns soft inside, with a golden, lightly crisp coating.
In Turkey, it is often served warm alongside a main meal, sometimes with plain or garlicky yoghurt; salad and bread make natural companions too. It brings vegetable fibre, while the flour coating adds carbohydrates and frying contributes fat. For a lighter version, use just enough oil to brown the slices in a non-stick pan, then drain them on kitchen paper.
