Trim off the stem of the Brinjal.

Slice the Brinjal into 1 cm thick roundels, ensuring they are not too thick or too thin.

In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp. of Roasted Besan, 1 tsp. of Roasted Cumin powder, 1 tsp. of Amchur powder, 2 tsp. of Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder, 1 tsp. of Turmeric powder, and salt as per taste to create a dry coating mixture.

Coat each Brinjal slice well on both sides with the dry coating mixture.

Let the coated Brinjal slices rest for around 7-8 minutes to allow the spice mix to stick due to the moisture released from the Brinjal.

Heat 3 tbsp. of Mustard Oil in a tawa over medium flame until hot.

Add the coated Brinjal slices one by one to the tawa.

While one side is cooking, brush the other side of the Brinjal slices with a little bit of oil.

Lower the flame and pan-fry the Brinjal slices for 4-5 minutes on one side.

Flip the Brinjal slices to cook the other side.
