  • Baby eggplant/aubergine – 4 to 5
  • Curry powder – 2 tsp
  • Red chilli powder – ½ tsp
  • Sunflower/vegetable oil for deep frying
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
  1. Thinly slice the eggplants and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with the curry powder and salt and toss them to coat evenly.
  2. Heat sunflower or vegetable oil in a deep frying pan and let it become smoking hot. Once hot, deep fry the sliced aubergine in batches for about 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and golden. Take them out and place on an absorbent kitchen towel.
