- 2 medium eggplants (baingan) or 1 large |
- 1 cup covered corn meal (makai ka aata) |
- 1 small onion, finely chopped |
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped |
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander |
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste |
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder |

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. |
