    To make the batter start by adding water. Using a hand whisk mix all vigorously to a rather thick batter consistency. Thick enough to coat the aubergine.

  4. 4

    Cover and leave to rest for at least 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    When ready to fry, place a deep pan or wok on the hob. Add enough oil to deep fry the fritters

  6. 6

    Heat the oil until reach the acquired right temperature. Take one by one aubergine slice, dip and coat into the batter and gently emerge into the hot oil.

  7. 7

    Fry in small batches until crisp. Remove and drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

  8. 8

    Enjoy these crispy aubergine fritters with a hot chutney of your choice. I prefer these delicious fritters with coriander chutney.
