Fried Eggplant

Eggplant Fry

Eggplant , one of my husband's favorite vegetable . One day he requested me to watch a video of a Chinese chef preparing eggplant . I took the idea from him but I used my  masala to prepare it.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients :

• 1 long eggplant
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder.
• 1 tbsp freshly chopped spring onion
• 1/2tbsp freshly chopped coriander leaves
• Salt to taste
• Oil

Method :

At first peel the eggplant and cut it in one and half inch long .  Rub salt and corn starch .
Put a pan with enough oil to deep fry the eggplant . Keep it aside.

Then put an another pan on high heat. Put one tsp oil from the other pan . Add the roasted cumin powder and black pepper powder. When you put the masala do not keep the pan on the heat. The masala should not be burnt . Stir it once and then add the chopped spring onion and coriander leaves putting the pan back on the heat. Then add the fried eggplant on it and mix it well . Adjust the salt here and serve hot with rice or chappati.

Tips: Don't wash the peeled eggplant and fry the eggplant immidiately
