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.
