Aubergine fritters

Put oil on to heat first

In a bowl, sift the gram flour

Add the red chilli powder, cumin, salt and garam masala. Mix well

Add enough water to make the batter a medium consistency

Wash the aubergine, top and tail, slice thinly

Dip each slice into batter, so it is coated evenly, then place carefully into the oil. Cook until golden brown.

Serve with mint youghurt

This snack can be eaten on its own or served with biryani :)
