Add 2 tablespoons of roasted gram flour to a bowl.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 2 teaspoons of kashmiri red chili powder, 2 teaspoons of coriander powder, 1.5 teaspoons of cumin powder, 2 teaspoons of amchur powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala powder, and a pinch of Hing to the bowl.

Add salt to taste, about 1 teaspoon, and mix the spices nicely with the gram flour until blended well.

Cut off the head of 1 medium to large brinjal and slice it into medium thickness slices, not too thin or too thick.

Coat each brinjal slice with the prepared masala mix, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

Let the coated brinjal slices sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Heat a tawa and pour a little oil, spreading it out on all sides.

Place the brinjal pieces one by one onto the tawa, maintaining a medium flame.

Dab the pieces with a little oil before flipping them over.

Cook each side for about 5 minutes on medium-low flame, adding a little oil if the edges look dry.
