Ingredients Serving: 4

A large eggplant (black in color)
Mozzarella Cheese Slices
1/2 Cup Maida (All Purpose Flour)
2 tbsp rice flour
1 tsp red chilly powder
1 tsp Tahini Paste (Paste made with Sesame Seeds, easily available in the market)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying
Curd as required

Instructions

Cut the eggplant into slices,sprinkle salt and pepper and keep aside to rest
When the eggplant starts leaving water, pat it with a paper towel and keep aside. This removes the bitter taste of the Eggplant
Sprinkle garlic powder generously over the eggplant slices and keep aside
In another bowl, mix the maida, rice flour, salt and pepper, red chill powder, tahini paste and curd and mix well until it reaches a thick consistency
Coat the eggplants into this batter and make a sandwich with two slices along with a slice of Mozzarella in the centre
Heat 2 tbsps of Oil in a pan and when hot, shallow fry the eggplant on a low flame until perfectly cooked. Turn upside down to make sure both sides are well done
Use proper oil as eggplant absorbs the oil very fast. Use a grill pan if possible to get the Steak like look
Serve with Hummus, Pita and Stir Fry Veggies
