    About this recipe

    To make this fry , brinjals are sliced , marinated with spices , coated with fine sooji /rava and then its either pan fried or shallow fried. Few uses besan /gram flour or rice flour to coat marinated brinjal slices.

    Many of them even coat with gram flour / rice flour and deep fry or shallow fry it. Though it tastes good , I Just try to avoid unnecessary deep frying of vegetables when you can achieve better taste with minimal oil .

    Here I have used Mustard oil to make this brinjal fry , you can use any cooking oil of your choice. As this recipe is similar to begun bhaja cooked with mustard oil , even I have mustard oil here.

    After tasting this recipe with mustard oil and with regular refined oil , I felt mustard oil adds hint of peculiar flavour to this brinjal rava fry . Hence, I recommend to use mustard oil for enhanced taste.

    To make this recipe most importantly , select a large variety of eggplant which are light in weight because they have got less seeds. This kind of eggplants tends to have light sweetish taste and is perfect to marinate with good amount of spices.

    As everyone , as their own preferences you can try out sooji or any flours as per your likings. I love to coat it with rava because it gives a nice crisp outside and soft texture inside.

    You can always alter the amount spices used here to make it more or less spice.The measurement followed here yields you moderate spice brinjal fries . If using large brinjals around 500 grams , then increase the amount of spices.

    Aubergine or Eggplant is very much low in calories and has high dietary fibers. Hence it is highly considered in weight loss diet. It's also rich in potassium and vitamin C which helps to keep a healthy heart by lowering the cholesterol.

    Try adding Eggplant in your diet as much as you can , if you are looking for weight  loss and weight management in a healthy way.

    This Brinjal fry can be served as a side dish with any kind of rice varieties , dal chawal , khichdi or plain khadi.
