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)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the brinjals thoroughly and slice them evenly into thin rounds, about 2-3mm thick. Ensure the slices remain uniform for even cooking.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Dip each brinjal slice into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated on both sides.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Carefully place the batter-coated slices into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Place the fried chips on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm as a snack with ketchup or a side dish with your meal.
