For the last day of BM#34 , under evening snacks , this is my entry . So let’s start the recipe . Yum
Ingredients :
4 Brinjal , medium sized
1/2 teaspoon red chilly powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
For batter
2 green chillies , thinly chopped
1 tablespoon coriander leaves , thinly chopped
1 cup Gram flour/Besan
1 tablespoon rice flour
1/4 cup yoghurt
1 teaspoon carom seeds/Aijwain
A pinch Asafetida
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chilly powder
1 teaspoon chaat masala
1/2 teaspoon gram masala
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
To serve
Mint chutney
Tomato ketchup
Method:
Wash and cut Brinjal into round slices . Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon chilly powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside.
Take all the ingredients for batter in a bowl , add 1/4 cup water in it and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps .The batter should be thick enough .
Heat oil in a pan /wok keeping low to medium flame , take one brinjal slice at a time , dip it in batter and place in hot oil . Likewise repeat the same procedure for rest slices.
Flip the brinjal slice in oil and fry from both sides till light golden.
Drain them out on an aluminum foil , press gently in the foil and fry again till crispy golden .
Drain on paper towel and serve hot with mint chutney and ketchup .
Enjoy !!
Serve-3. Cooking time -20 minutes
Note: Here I have used brown rice flour but you may totally skip it.
Double frying the pakoras will make them more crispier but this step is purely optional. But if you want to refry them , cut the brinjal into thick rounds or else it will become too soft to handle.
Adjust spices and salt as per your taste . Likewise you may prepare potato and onion pakoras too.

I never tasted purple brinjal pakoda but have tasted the green long pakoda. When my cousin served those, we thought those were mirchi bajji. But brinjal pakoda were awesome. I am sure even your pakoda were tasty.
About the weight, don't worry about it. Few years ago I was like you. No matter what I ate or how many desserts; cakes & ice-creams I ate, it didn't show at all. But now, it shows up easily. Enjoy the slim figure while it lasts. There might come a day in coming years when you want to lose weight.
So so tempting bhaji. Knowing my love for eggplant, I want to try this very very soon.
Oh Sapana the whole world is getting obese and are suffering with it and u want to join it ? Like Usha says enjoy while u are thin
