Step 1: First do this: Lightly salt all the eggplant slices then place the slices in a very large colander then set colander in the sik or a large bowl, let sit about 25 minutes. Pour off liquid before dipping in batter. Lightly pat eggplant slices dry using paper towels.
Step 2: For batter: pour the soda into a bowl, and stir in flour and salt slowly, using a whisk or fork to mix.
Step 3: Bring oil to high heat. Coat eggplant in the batter, use a fork to place pieces in oil and fry 4-5 minutes (total) until golden on both sides and batter puffs up. Drain on absorbent paper toweling just long enough to remove excess oil. Serve as hot as possible.
