Instructions:-
1. Wash the eggplants and cut them into thick slices. Sprinkle a little salt on the slices and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release excess water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine covered corn meal, chopped onion, green chilies, fresh coriander, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to form a thick mixture.
3. Take each eggplant slice and coat it with the corn meal mixture on both sides.
4. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the coated eggplant slices in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, turning occasionally. Add more oil if needed.
5. Once the eggplant kebabs are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
6. Serve the Makai ka Aata Baingan Kebabs hot with a side of mint chutney or yogurt dip.
