I have memories of having these bhajjis mostly during Maharashtrian weddings.Whenever I get fresh big brinjal, I make it a point to make these yummy bhajjis….

Goes well as side dish with Dal Rice,Pulav…..

Ingredients:

1 Large size Brinjal (Washed and Sliced thinly).

1 cup Besan

1/2 tsp turmeric

1 tsp red chilli powder.

Salt to taste.

Oil for frying.

Method:

Wash,peel and slice brinjal thinly.

Keep it soaked in salt water for 1/2 hour.

Add salt,turmeric powder and chilli powder to besan.

Make a thick batter adding water as per requirement.

Heat oil.Add 1 tbsp hot oil in besan batter and mix well,this helps in making crisp bhajis.

Dip few slices of brinjal in the prepared batter and fry in hot oil on medium flame till they turn crispy.

Remove on absorbent(tissue) paper  to drain any excess oil.

Serve hot with tomato ketchup.

Happy Cooking !!!
