Tomatoes
In a deep plate, combine corn flour, salt, sugar and spices. Beat the eggs in a second deep plate and place the breadcrumbs in a third plate.
Coat the tomatoes with the flour mixture. Dip them in the eggs and press them in the breadcrumbs to coat them well.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil (make sure you have at least 1/2 inch of oil in the bottom of the pan while the tomatoes cook). Fry half the tomatoes at a time in the oil for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper. Lightly salt. Let cool.
Serve the fried tomatoes with the dip and raw vegetables, if desired.

Enjoy !
