Eggplant is a good source for dietary fiber and is thought to promote a healthy heart. One full serving of eggplant is very low in calories. A cup full of sliced one-inch cubes contain only 33 calories. It is one of my most favourite vegetables.
Ingredients:
- One large : Eggplant
- 1 tsp : Chilli powder
- 1tsp : Salt
- 1tsp : Cumin seeds
- half tsp : Turmeric powder
- 2 tsp : Rice flour
- Oil : as needed
- Lemon juice : To sprinkle
Directions:
Wash the eggplant and dry it. Cut it in to thick round shape. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Take one piece of eggplant and pat it with mixed spices on both sides. Heat little oil in a non-stick pan. Put eggplant slices in it and cook from both sides. Take them out on a tissue paper. Sprinkle some lemon juice on it. It is ready to serve with yoghurt/mint chutney and any other dip you like.
Note: Sliced eggplant absorbs oil like a sponge so make sure that oil is preheated and always take it out on an absorbing paper or tissue.
