Let me know when u get started, Im gonna be the first to order!!!

Try this the next time you have a large and beautiful eggplant (yum!)
1. Cut slices about 1/4th inch think out of the eggplant and soak them in cold salt water.
2. Mix chickpea flour, salt, cumin powder, and red chilly powder in a plate, add as much chilly and salt as per preference.
3. Heat some oil in a frying pan and dredge the pieces of eggplant in this mixture, put them in the pan.
4. Cook on each side for about 5 mins, on medium heat. Sprinkle some water over them once in between. Cover till done.

This is my grandmother's recipe and I just love it, do try it the next time you have an eggplant as lovely as the ones in the pic!!!

Chana masala needs way more tomatoes than the 3 tbsp you mentioned, you might wanna try something like four medium sized tomatoes for about 50 gm of dried channa, Im not sure how much that is in terms of canned channa though.

This is a really, really, really long process, and I wonder what the end result tastes like???

I use the same strategy when I want to lose weight too! In fact, you should check if the restaurant will let you split your entree - some of them do, in case you and your fellow diner are both ordering the same dish!!! Happy halves!!!

The burger has shrunk in India over the last few years since McD's was launched here. A regular sized McChicken sandwich is now the size of a kiddie meal chicken sandwich. Economy, hoo boy!
