Patlıcan kızartma[1] or Patlıcan kızartması[2][3] (Turkish for fried eggplant) is an eggplant dish from the Turkish cuisine. It is such a common dish during summer months that this season used to be called "patlıcan kızartma ayları" (fried eggplant months)[4] in Ottoman Istanbul, where this generalized frying caused huge fires and destroyed entire mahalles due to the abundance of old wooden houses.[5][6]

Turkish style patlıcan kızartması is usually eaten with a garlic yogurt or tomato sauce. In Arabic and Israeli cuisines, fried eggplant is typically served with a tahini sauce.[7] In Israel, it is used to make sabich: a popular sandwich of fried eggplant and hard boiled egg in a pita.[8]
