Instructions
  1. Slice eggplant into a little less than 1/2 inch rounds. In a bowl, mix besan flour, rice flour, salt, turmeric and chili powder. Add half cup water and whisk. Keep adding more water little by little until batter is very thick and smooth. Add a little more water to thin out batter. Batter should stick to eggplant and not flow off easily.
  2. Heat a pan with enough oil to deep fry eggplant. When oil is hot, dip each eggplant slice into batter, allowing excess to drip off. Gently place battered eggplant slices into hot oil. Don’t crowd the pan. When one side is golden, turn over and cook the other side. Total cooking time is approximately 4 minutes. Both sides should be golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  3. Serve eggplant bhajis with tamarind chutney, green chutney or yogurt sauce.
