warm, humid, drizzly evenings and it calls for onion bhaji and tea. (well it was yesterday evening)
ingredients
aubergene - 2 small size verrrry thinly cut about inch square
onion - 1 medium verrrrrr thinly cut (shallots - 2 will be a great option)
cayenne pepper powder -  to your heat
salt - to your taste
gram flour - half a cup (I use a 200 ml glass as a cup)

mix aubs, onions and gram flour in a bowl and let it coat. in half a glass of water put it the chilli powder, salt and mix it. pour it in in the bowl while mixing it. add a lil bit more water so that the consistency is when you pick a lump and squeeze it, they should fall as smaller lumps (best description I can make). probably thicker batter rather than a dough consistency.
heat oil. grab a lump and squeeze on to of oil to get smaller lumps.
make a nice cuppa on the side.

(sorry for glass tea... all the cups were in dishwasher  )

That looks good Prakash!

Does the oil need to be very deep, or would it work shallow fried?

[prakash_mib]

thanks. needs a good amount of oil. Have never tried shallow fry

I love em.  I use whatever the lotty has to offer on any given day. They're splendid with mayo or mango chutters
