- Wash and pat dry the baingan.
Slice it in 1/2 inch thin roundels( 1 large eggplant gives 10-12 slices) - Meanwhile, add 1 tbsp. oil in a bowl, mix all the spices.
Coat this spice mix onto the slices, from both the sides. - Keep them covered for marinating for 15-20 mins. (optional step though I recommend)
- Now heat the remaining 1 tbsp. oil in a flat pan, preferably nonstick.
once the oil is hot, arrange the slices in 1 layer, should not be overlapping with each other.
- Cook covered for 5-6 mins in a low-medium flame or until the lower side is brown.
Flip all the slices up side down and fry the same way - Do the remaining slices in the same fashion. If required, add a few drops of more oil
- Relish with plain RICE and Daal or as finger food/starters with some chaat masala sprinkled over them!!
