Hot eggplant in oil is a flavorful and savory dish where tender pieces of eggplant are cooked in a rich, aromatic oil. The eggplant absorbs the oil, becoming soft and slightly caramelized, while the oil itself is infused with the savory flavors of garlic, onions, and often herbs or spices like chili flakes, cumin, or coriander. The dish is typically served warm, offering a spicy, savory, and slightly smoky taste. The texture is creamy on the inside, with a crispy exterior from the oil.
