Description
Let your eggplant soak up some spice and then sizzle in the oven. Perfectly crisp fries, all you have to do is dip them in garlic aioli or hot sauce and devour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small eggplant, washed and cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons gram flour (besan)
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon dry mango powder (amchoor)
- 2 teaspoons chat masala (Indian mixed spice)
- 5 tablespoons + 1 tablespoon light olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Toss the eggplant with all the dry ingredients [except the chat masala] and 5 tablespoons of olive oil, till the pieces are evenly covered with flour.
- Line on a baking tray and sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil evenly across.
- Bake in a 400 F pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once in between. The pieces will turn brown and crisp on the outside, but will remain slightly soft on the inside.
