Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Brinjal (Eggplant)
- 4 tablespoons Rice flour
- 2 tablespoons Gram flour (Besan)
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 500 ml Oil (for frying)
Instructions
Wash the brinjals thoroughly and slice them evenly into thin rounds, about 2-3mm thick. Ensure the slices remain uniform for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, gram flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, garlic powder (if using), and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add water to the dry mixture while stirring to form a thick batter. The consistency should coat the back of a spoon without being too runny.
Dip each brinjal slice into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated on both sides.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
Carefully place the batter-coated slices into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan.
Fry the brinjal chips for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
Place the fried chips on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm as a snack with ketchup or a side dish with your meal.
