EGGPLANT FRY

I saw this recipe in of the cookery shows and i was really tempted to make it.

INGREDIENTS

Eggplant-1 whole

turmeric pdr-1 tsp

chilli pdr-1 tbsp

hing-a pinch

rice flour-handful

salt and pepper

oil

METHOD

Cut the eggplant in 1/2" round shapes,apply some salt and keep aside for 1/2 an hr or so.Mix rest of the ingredients and keep aside.Salt will bring out the water in the eggplant and remove the bitterness.Wipe out the water from the eggplant with a cloth.Coat all the eggplant pieces on both sides with the dry mixture.

coat the base of a pan with oil and when it gets hot put the coated eggplant pieces in it.Fry it very slowly on a medium heat .Frying on a medium low heat will help it to cook and brown both sides evenly.Ones its cooked remove it from the pan and do the same with the rest of the pieces.

Serve it hot with rice and dal.
