Today, I decided to prepare Crispy Baigan Bhaja, a delightful and flavorful dish that’s quick, easy, and loved by all. With its crispy texture and tangy-spicy flavor, this dish is sure to win hearts. Here’s how you can make it:

Ingredients

1 large eggplant (baigan)

2 tbsp gram flour (besan)

1 tsp red chili powder

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp coriander powder

1/2 tsp dried mango powder (amchur)

1/4 tsp black peper

1 tsp oregano

Salt to taste

1 tbsp tomato sauce

Water (as needed)

Mustard oil (for frying)

Step by St er
Prepare the Eggplant Slices

Wash the eggplant thoroughly and cut it into 1 cm thick slices.

Make the Spice Paste

In a plate, mix gram flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, dried mango powder, oregano, black peper,salt, and tomato sauce.

Add a little water to make a thick paste.

Coat the Slices

Take each eggplant slice and coat it evenly with the prepared paste. Ensure the slices are well-covered for maximum flavor.

Shallow Fry

Heat a pan and add mustard oil. Once the oil is hot, place the coated slices on the pan.

Cook the slices on medium heat until both sides turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them gently to avoid breaking.

Serve Hot

Remove the slices from the pan and place them on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil. Serve hot with mint chutney, ketchup, or as a side dish with your meal.

Why I Love This Recipe

The combination of spices with the tanginess of tomato sauce and amchur gives this dish a unique flavor that’s hard to resist. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making it a perfect snack or side dish.
