Recipe Ingredients
For about 40 donuts
- 1 eggplant
- 125g of wheat flour
- 80g of tapioca starch or cornstarch
- 80g of bessan
- 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon yellow dye powder
- 350ml warm water
- 1 small bunch chopped chives
- Frying oil
Instructions
- Mix the wheat flour, tapioca starch, bessan, bicarbonate, salt, dye and chives together in a small bowl.
- Add warm water gradually and whisk manually until there's no more lumps.
- Keep in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Cut thin slices of eggplant. Prepare a plate with a lot of paper towels to put the eggplant fritters.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan or deep fryer. Once it is hot, immerse the eggplant fritters in oil. You will find that the fritters will swell then rise to the surface.
- Turn to fry on the other side. Once they are golden brown, remove them and put them on paper towels. Renew the operation until you're done.
