This time when I went to Canada, I prepared some vegetarian dishes and one of them was Eggplant fry and Potato fry. To my surprise people liked it and asked me for a recipe. It was long pending and now here is a simple vegetarian recipe of Eggplant fry or Potato Fry!
I learned it in Assam. Usually it is a Bengali recipe. I had a colleague who was Bengali when I used to work in Assam. Some times she used to make this. I liked this simple recipe. The same recipe can be applied for any fruit vegetable fry. It is very simple but delicious.
Contents: Eggplants, Potatoes, Turmeric, Salt, Mustered Oil (Whatever Oil you use daily).
Recipe: Take fresh eggplants or big potatoes. Cut the eggplant or potato into circular pieces. Take turmeric (1 tea spoon) and salt (1/2 tea spoon) and create a mixture of turmeric and salt.
Roll the circular pieces of eggplant or potato in the mixture one by one
so that the pieces would get covered with the turmeric and salt
mixture. After rolling all the pieces in the mixture take a frying pan
and put 1 tea spoon oil in it and keep it for heating on the stove.
Slowly put the eggplant or potato pieces into the frying pan. Put the stove at low flame and do not allow the oil to be overheated. Just shallow fry the pieces and put lid onto the frying pan. After 3-4 mins take out the lead and turn the eggplant or potato pieces.
You will observe the change in color of the pieces and they get cooked. One can see the softness by putting a pointed tip of a knife into the pieces. The fries will be ready to serve.
One can serve these fries as a starter or one can eat it as a main dish
with white rice.This can also be fried in the grill with less oil.
