Step:

  1. First of all, wash and slice the Eggplants into thin circles. Keep them immersed in a tablespoon of salted water until the Oil gets heated up.

  2. Deep fry them on a medium to high heat in hot Oil. Do not fry them too much otherwise they will become soggy. Drain them on a tissue paper and set aside.

  3. Next prepare the Tomato Onion base. Heat 2 tablespoons of Oil in a pan. Add the crushed Garlic and chopped Onions. Saute them for a minute and then add the Tomatoes along with all the ingredients.
