Did you know? Bengal's iconic fried eggplant slices. Mustard oil adds pungency. Often served as a side with rice. Some versions use air-frying for less oil. The dish is vegan and gluten-free. Best made with firm, fresh eggplants. The slices should be crisp outside, creamy inside. Pairs well with dal and rice. Simple yet deeply flavorful.
