  • 1 tsp Sugar – (to sprinkle)
  • 5 – 6 tbsp Mustard oil – (for shallow frying)
Instructions
  1. Wash and wipe the egg plant with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. On a chopping board slice the egg plant in round shape as shown in the picture above. Don’t use the stem part.
  3. Place the round slices of the eggplant on a plate and sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, amchur (i did not use, if you want a tangy flavor you can add it) and salt.
  4. Coat the slices on the spices from both sides and keep aside.
  5. Heat a non stick pan/tawa and add few drops of oil here n there on it.
  6. Now place the slices on the tawa and add oil from side. Do this for all the slices.
  7. Shallow fry the slices from both sides by flipping in regular intervals.
  8. Once the slices are fried from both sides, transfer them on a plate and sprinkle little sugar on them. As the slices are hot the sugar will melt in no time.
  9. Squeeze a little lemon juice on them and serve hot. You can omit adding lemon juice if you have used amchur.
  10. Serve as a side with hot steaming rice and masoor or moong dal. It will taste awesome!
