Baingan (Brinjal) Bhaja

This is an easy and delicious preparation that goes well with rice or chapatti. I learned this from my daughter’s Bengali classmate.

            You can see some potato wedges also being cooked alongside, for my potato lover husband 

Ingredients

2 large sized brinjals

Salt to taste

½ tsp turmeric powder

¼ cup oil to shallow fry

Instructions

-          Wash and dry the brinjals. Slice them into 1 cm thick pieces

-          Sprinkle turmeric powder and salt on both sides and spread on a plate. Keep the plate slightly tilted so that the water that comes out collects at the lower side of the plate and can be discarded.

-          Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan on high flame. Now reduce the flame to medium and drop the brinjal slices.

-          When the bottom side is cooked, turn them upside down and let the other side also get cooked.

-          Remove them from the pan and serve hot with rice or chapatis
