Simple pan frying is the tried and true way to cook vegetables and let them shine. Depending on the flavors you add, it summons absolute deliciousness. And in fact, they are also a treasure trove of nutrition making them a must addition to your diet. However, prepping and cooking veggies like eggplants or aubergines may sound complicated, and pan frying with a little spice is my favorite and simplest way to make them tasty. Baingan Bhaja or Pan Fried Eggplant Recipe Prep the eggplant or aubergine – First, slice the eggplants into thick slices. Sprinkle them with plenty of salt and use a paper towel to remove all the moisture. You can also rinse under cold running water and then let them dry before adding to the spice mixture.Add spices and pan fry – Pan fried eggplant slices will be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. To achieve this texture, combine flour or even besan (chickpea flour or gram flour) with spices like ground turmeric and red chili powder. Coat the eggplants in this mixture, and pan fry in a little oil.
