Brinjal Bajji - Recipe Marathon - Day 7

Its Day 7 in the Recipe Marathon and we are all successfully running. I must say, this marathon has introduced me to whole lot of new people who are interesting to know about and equally excited as I am about the whole marathon. Here I go with today's recipe. Brinjal Bajji.

This bajji has a kuti story behind it . My dad likes this brinjal bajji very much and he wanted us to make for Diwali.I was hunting for this big size brinjal but could not find one that time. Last week when I was shopping in Spencer's Daily, this brinjal caught my sight. I immediately got it and made this bajji for my dear dad. He like it a lot and was surprised to when he saw the bajji.

Now to the ingredients,

For the Batter:

Bengal Gram Flour - 2 cups

Redchillie Powder - 2 tsp

Rice Flour - 2 tsp

Salt - to taste

Baking Soda - a small pinch

Brinjal - Big Variety 1 cut into slices

Oil - for deep frying

Method:
Cut the brinjal into thin slices and keep them in a vessel filled with water. This is to avoid the brinjal becoming black. Prepare the batter by mixing Bengal gram dal powder, Rice flour, Red chillie powder, salt and Baking soda. The consistency of the batter should be that of Dosa batter.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan and when its very hot, dip the sliced brinjal in the batter and deep fry in the hot oil.

When both the sides are golden brown, remove on to a absorbent paper and serve hot. You can have it with curd rice along with coconut chutney or as an evening snack. People who are calorie conscious need to stay away from this. I stayed away and had only half bajji.
