About

This recipe is a simple variation of the eggplant yoghurt dip, in which the eggplant slices are shallow-fried instead of boiled or roasted. If you enjoy the texture of chunkier pieces of eggplant, you will enjoy this raita.

Ingredients

2 medium Eggplants
2 cups Yoghurt
2 Green Chillies (chopped)

Side dish
Gluten-free
Vegetarian

Method

Sprinkle the eggplant slices with some salt and red chilli powder, and shallow-fry on low heat until they turn golden-brown.

In a separate bowl, whisk the yoghurt, and add crushed garlic, chaat masala, salt, red chilli powder, red chilli flakes, chopped coriander, and green chillies.

Place the fried eggplant slices in the serving bowl and pour the yoghurt mix ov
