Spicy Masala Eggplant Fry



Spicy Masala Eggplant fry

 This is a delicious stir fried eggplant made with a flavorful spice blend and goes well with rice.Its quick and simple recipe. I got the recipe for the spice blend from here. I used the same recipe,but added shredded dry coconut too to make the spice powder.

Ingredients
Eggplant- 1 medium
Turmeric- 1/4 tsp
Chilly powder- 1/2 tsp
Hing- a pinch
Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves- a few
oil
salt to taste

For the spice blend
Channa dal- 2 tsp
Sesame seeds- 1 tsp
Shredded coconut- 2 tsp
Red chilly- 3


Cut eggplant into cubes and marinate with turmeric powder and chilly powder. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and when they splutter add hing and curry leaves followed by the egg plant and stir fry. Reduce flame and close lid for a minute. Cook till half done and add salt. Continue to stir fry.

Mean while dry roast the ingredients in the spice blend. First add channa dal and chilly and roast till it changes color.Now add dry shredded coconut and sesame seed and roast for a minute. Make a powder of this.Add this to the eggplant and toss till well coated. Fry for two more minutes till the eggplant pieces gets slight fried . Serve with rice..


Try this..
Hope you will all enjoy

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is exactly three weeks for Christmas and I am planning to share a few recipes for the holidays this year. This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste.
