  1. Take small aubergine like i showed in the photo . wash nicely cut in the middle into four  first check carefully before you cut fully .sometimes inside aubergines you will find insects .only after you checking and it look ok for you then only carry the next step it should look like a flower just opening . once you cut them drop them in a bowl of salt water. dice the onions into very small pieces as to be very small. cut the green chillies into long slices .wash your hands after cutting the onions and chillies.

  2. Take a non-stick pan keep the flame in low. now dry toast one cup of gram flour until the raw smell goes from gram flour keep mix be carefully not to burn it a may take few minutes and switch of the heat side it on side.

  4. The best tip for the recipe is it needs lots of oil for you to enjoy pure authentic south Indian taste.so best if you keep 3 to 4 tbsp of oil heated and keep it near to you .so if you need in case you can just add it now and then .only if you think its looking it dry specially with gram flour stuffing.

  5. Now add in the onion and leave to fry until golden brown. Add in the ginger garlic paste, garam masala, coriander powder ,chilli powder, turmeric powder ,salt and mix. now add in roasted gram flour and mix all together well when you think it all ready add in finely copped coriander .switch the flame off and let it cool down

  7. Now take a deep frying pan heat 5 to 6 tbsp with medium flame .once the oil is heated add in slowly stuffed aubergines one by one take lots of care .put the pan lid on .try taking the lid off every 1o minutes and keep slowly turning them now and then until they all changing in colour into golden brown you can see aubergine changing it colour or until they look cooked .i always like to shallow fry them. if you want to you can deep fry aubergine first in oil and  them in the the serving bowl and garnish with coriander leaves. you can do both options .it may take 20 minutes are so to fry all them in both options. Once you think they are fully cooked and looking divine switch of the flame and garnish with finely chopped coriander.
