You can even use ordinary red chili powder, in that case use less. Or you can even use paprika or cayenne pepper. * salt - I used little less than a teaspoon. Please adjust according to your preference. * baking powder - 1 teaspoon * cornflour(cornstarch) - 2 heaped tablespoons. Adding too much will make the batter hard. You can even use rice flour instead. * nigella seeds(kalonji/kalojeere) - 1/2 teaspoon * cold chilled water - I used 1/2 a cup but please do not stick to this proportion. You may need more or less depending on the variety of your gram flour. * hot oil - 1 tablespoon For the fritters - * eggplant - 2 medium sized * cheese - I used American cheese slices. You can use any cheese according to your preference. * oil - for deep frying Share the photos of your culinary success by emailing me - My email - bumbicurry@gmail.com Facebook - / currieswithbumbi
