Badanekayi Phodi or Brinjal Fry

Usually on Sunday's, mom and I cook something elaborate or something special because I'm at home and she wants me to enjoy my Sunday with good food. Today, it's a gloomy day outside and we just don't feel like cooking something big and elaborate. I was craving for Anna-Saaru, so mum decided to make nice Ginger Saaru and I decided to make Badanekayi Phodi.

So all you need is :

1. Brinjal - 250 gms ( nice and firm, with a beautiful purple)
2. Red Chilli powder, Turmeric and Amchoor -  1tsp each
3. Rice flour -  2 Tbsp
4. Coconut oil for shallow frying
5. Salt to taste.

Method :
1. Cut the Brinjal into medium thick slices. Lay them over in plate. Sprinkle Turmeric, Red Chilli powder, Amchoor salt and rub on each slice.
2. Marinade for 5-6 mins.
3. Heat  tawa, shallow fry these slices in coconut oil. Fry till they are nice golden brown and crisp.
4. Serve hot as an accompaniment with rice and Saru or eat it just like that.

Note : 1. You can use regular vegetable oil if not coconut oil.
2. While buying Brinjal, make sure the Brinjal is nice and firm and light in weight.
3. These.can be made in just 10-15 mins. So make it just before serving, otherwise they will turn soggy.
