Vazhuthananga Varuthathu/Crispy Eggplant Fry



Vazhuthananga Varuthathu/Crispy Eggplant Fry

Aubergine/eggplant fry is quick and easy side dish that goes well with rice and sambar/rasam. Eggplant is a wonderful vegetable but I like it best when fried. Are you a fan of eggplant fry? Eggplant sometimes tastes bitter and soggy when fried.Adding salt and keeping aside for a few minutes will release the water from the eggplant making it perfect for crispy fries. Earlier I shared another version of breaded eggplant fry that can be served as an appetizer. This is a home style crispy fry. Try this you will surely love it.

Ingredients
Egg plant- 1
Chilly powder- 1 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/3tsp
Pepper powder -1/4 tsp
Fenugreek powder- a pinch
Cumin powder- a pinch
Garlic paste- 1/2 tsp
Rice flour- 2 tsp
Potato starch- 2 tbs
(or a combination of rice flour and corn starch)
Lemon juice- 1/2 tsp
salt to taste
oil for frying



Cut eggplant into half inch thick round pieces and sprinkle a little salt after let it rest for 3-4 minutes. Place them on  paper towel and gently press down and take off the excess water.
Make a paste of chilly powder, turmeric powder,pepper powder, cumin powder, fenugreek powder, garlic paste,lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Spread this paste as a thin coating on the eggplant.
 In a bowl mix rice flour and potato starch.Take the eggplant pieces one by one and roll them in this flour and set aside for five minutes.
Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the eggplant till both sides are crispy. Drain to paper towels. Serve with rice.

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. It is a gel-like sweet candy that you can never stop eating. When making halwa there is a time-honored cooking technique and halwa making is time-consuming.
