Crispy Eggplant Fry
This crispy eggplant/brinjal fry is one of the easiest as well as tastiest recipes that you can ever make with this vegetable. In fact, it is a lovely fried veggie dish that you can make whenever you wish to. These brinjal slices have nice sweetish tones and a soft texture from within and crisp from outside. A lot of you may not have a soft corner for the humble vegetable brinjal/eggplant. But to me, this veggie is quite a star. I make this Brinjal Fry using less spice powders and coating the brinjal slices with semolina flour or rice flour. You can even use chickpea flour or gram flour (besan) or cornstarch or all-purpose flour.
I often make veggie fries as a side dish to go with our meals. The vegetables are sliced, marinated with spices and then coated with rice flour, gram flour or semolina. Later, pan-fried or shallow-fried in oil.
So basically in this recipe the eggplant/brinjals are thickly sliced and marinated in a mixture of red chili powder, turmeric powder, rice flour and salt. Then, each slice is carefully, pan-fried to a perfect crispy golden colour.
Eggplant has a bland taste, it soaks up flavours from other ingredients like a pro. Also, the spongy and firm raw texture becomes deliciously melt-in-mouth when smoked, fried or even braised. Since brinjal absorbs a lot of oil, I pan-fry it and use less oil while frying. Other such vegetable can even be baked or air fried too.
One of my favorite recipes with minimal ingredients. This is a vegan preparation of tasty, crispy pan fried eggplant slices. Try it, you’ll like it too. This Brinjal Fry or Fried Eggplant is best accompaniment with dal-chawal (lentil-rice) combination or khichdi.
