Ingredients Serving: 6

Big round or oval eggplants 2
Gram flour or besan 2 cups
Salt to taste
Turmeric 1/2 tsp
Chilli powder 1 tbsp
garlic paste 1 tsp
Cumin powder roasted 1 tsp
Coriander powder roasted 1 tsp
Water as needed.

Instructions

Cut the eggplants into round slices.
Cut them just before you are ready to fry them.
Combine all the ingredients and make a thick batter of it using water.
The amount of water depends on the quality of the flour, so use accordingly.
Keep the batter for 30 mins atleast before finally starting to fry. This gives ample time to the flavours to get infused well.
Deep fry in batches on medium flame. Do not fry on high flame. Otherwise they will not get cooked well from inside.
Serve with any dip or sauce of your choice.
