This is a simple yet a flavourful side dish done with Long Brinjals or Eggplants. This variety of Eggplants is absolutely delicious and flavourful and when deep fried makes for a perfect side at mealtimes. Simple marination with everyday spices makes it even more yummy. For a change, this time around, i have used a tablespoon or two of Cornflour in the marination thus giving it a unique texture and flavour both.

Cornflour added gives it that perfect crunch. There is no need of adding many spices. Just a few everyday pantry staples or powdered spices are enough to make them lip-smacking. Homemade and absolutely delicious pure comfort food at your disposal in just a few minutes. Serve it alongside steamed Rice, Raw Mango Daal and Crisp Fried Eggplants. Everyone would love it for sure. It's such a delightful meal that no one can say no or make any excuses. After frying and even while frying, these fill up with an amazing aroma in the house making it difficult to ignore. Let's get rolling with the complete recipe folks.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
