1
Wash and slice the brinjal into thin round pieces. Soak them in salted water for 10 minutes to remove any bitterness. Drain and pat dry with a clean cloth.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of gram flour (besan), 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon ajwain, a pinch of asafoetida (hing), salt to taste, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
3
Gradually add water to the dry mixture and whisk until you get a smooth, thick batter. The consistency should be such that it coats the brinjal slices well.
4
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready for frying.
5
Dip each brinjal slice into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated on both sides. Carefully slide the coated brinjal slices into the hot oil.
6
Fry the pakoras in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-4 minutes per batch.
7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the pakoras from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8
Serve the baingan pakoras hot with green chutney or tomato ketchup.
