Method:

Rub some salt over the eggplant slices, on both the sides and keep them aside for few minutes. Season bread crumbs with paprika and salt. Heat oil for shallow frying in a large pan. By now the eggplant slices will be moist. Dip each slice into the seasoned bread crumbs, coat all over and drop them into hot oil. Fry on medium flame until crisp on both the sides. Drain on paper towels. And transfer to the serving dish.

On the other hand, to prepare the sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan. Add minced garlic and onions and sauté on low-medium flame until soft. Add mushrooms, and cook until they begin to brown. Then add diced tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy. Add all the herbs, salt and cook for 5-7 minutes. Add chopped parsley, stir and remove from flame. Serve over crisp fried eggplant.
