Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Mix besan, cornflour, salt, turmeric powder, chilli powder, Kalo jeera, coriander leaves, and baking powder. Now, gradually pour water to the mixture and keep mixing. The batter should not be thin; else it will not coat the eggplant. I added about ¾ cup of water.

  2. 2

    Take a pan and heat the oil.

  3. 3

    Once the oil is hot, take a slice of eggplant, coat it with the batter.

  4. 4

    Gently drop the coated eggplant in the hot oil.

  5. 5

    Fry the eggplant on low-medium flame till it is golden brown on both the sides.

  6. 6

    Take out the beguni and keep it on tissue paper to absorb the excess oil.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle black salt and serve hot.
