Instructions
 

Prepare the Eggplant

  • Cut the eggplant lengthwise into four sections, making sure not to cut through the stem.

Make the Spice Paste

  • In a bowl, combine the anchari masala, red chili powder, dry mango powder, roasted chana dal powder, salt, sugar, and black pepper (optional). Mix thoroughly.

Stuff the Eggplant

  • Fill each eggplant section generously with the spice mixture. Secure the eggplant sections with kitchen thread, tying them tightly.

Fry the Eggplant

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the stuffed eggplant in the pan and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. If needed, add a little water to the pan to prevent burning.

Serve

  • Remove the thread, cut each eggplant into smaller pieces, and serve hot with steamed rice or chapati.
