BAIGAN MAZEDAAR

In my initial days of marriage, guests used to arrive at my place mostly all of a sudden.But I was never scared in serving them lunch or dinner.That is because I followed one very useful Kitchen Tip that my Mom gave. Here it is for you too...

" Always keep few such vegetables in your refrigerator that can be cooked interestingly in just few minutes ."

Baigan Mazedaar is one such simple recipe. This can be put as a side recipe in your main menu. Also you can serve it as 'starters'.Believe me it is scrumptious and everyone who has tried it has requested me to serve it again and again.

Try it yourself.Good luck.

Ingredients:

Brinjal ( Eggplant Vegetable )

Cooking oil

Salt

Chaat Masala

Preparation time: 5 mins.

Difficulty level : EASY

Method :

Step 1).Wash the brinjal thoroughly with water.

Pour cooking oil in a Kadhai ( or Frying Pan ) and keep it on high flame for heating.

Step 2).Wipe with a clean cloth so that each brinjal is fully dry. This is important as it avoids splashing of the oil when frying.

Step 3).When the oil is hot and ready for frying,cut the vegetable into pieces 3-4 inches in size.You can choose to cut in circular shape or rectangular shape.

With the knife make holes in the pieces to let the oil soak in while frying.See the picture below.

Immediately, slide the pieces into the kadhai from one side so that minimum oil splashes out.

Step 4).Once the pieces turn brown take them out. Sprinkle your favorite chaat masala and salt according to taste and have it hot.
