    Taryal meaning fried and Vangan means baingan or brinjal in Sindhi. You will find many fans of this fried baingan recipe as it closely resembles brinjal tawa fry or tawa baingan which is generally served in weddings. Sindhi baigan are best cooked on cast iron.This delicious recipe is both vegan and gluten-free too.

    Eggplant recipes are simple and easy to make. They need less cooking time too. Perfect for midweek dinners. You can easily grow them in the garden too. Hence, they are quite popular. This long brinjal recipe is very delicious and you can have it with some lentils. Eat it with flatbreads or rice whatever is the choice. Italians also have it on pizzas which was quite a surprise when I first saw it on a restaurant menu. The more you travel, the more you learn and then you understand more. We can wait for pizzas but right now lets enjoy taryal vangan, basically a Sindhi style brinjal fry recipe. It is a super crisp aubergines slice with spicy middle.

    What are other eggplant fry Indian style?

    You can adjust the spices according to your taste. Increase the chili powder or amchur as per your choice. Drizzle some lemon juice if you do not have dry mango powder handy. You can also sprinkle some garam masala powder if you like. There is also a similarity with Oriya and Bengali cuisine here. Taryal vangan is very similar to the Oriya baingan bhaja or Bengali begun bhaja. The only difference, we fry baigan in mustard oil after dipping in rice flour.

    While this big brinjal recipe is a vegan pan-fried eggplant recipe Indian style, there is a non-vegan pan-fried eggplant parmesan recipe too. In South India, vankaya fry is or eggplant fry is also made with small brinjals, round ones. This masala brinjal fry is a great combination to serve with some rasam rice, curd rice or a large plate of sambar rice. We also make eggplant pakoras and also make stuffed eggplant curry or gutti vankaya kura at Telugu weddings.

    Notes

    For Oriya or Bengali style baingan bhaja recipe, make a paste of rice flour and water and dip the brinjal slices before you fry them.

    Serving suggestion

    Indian tawa baingan recipe is a great combination with moong ware chawal and any dal like sai bhaji or dal tadka. Generally, we eat it in dinner on hot summer nights. Although, these slices are vegan and gluten free, you can pair it with some curd or yogurt raita, aloo (smashed potatoes) or arbi tuk (fried taro) and mango slices. It is also a great curry when you travel long journeys in train or bus as it stays for long. Pair it with some fried poori, potato curry and achar.

    Storage

    You can store it for 1-2 days in refrigerator and reheat it before serving , although we suggest its best to eat fresh. 

    Variations

    You can also make baingan fry in air fryer. Add it to couscous optionally to make an eggplant couscous salad.

    FAQ

    Did you know eggplants are good for You?

    They are high in anti-oxidants. Promote weight loss and also aid blood sugar control.

    Can I freeze eggplant?

    Yes, as long as you cook it first.

    Why does aubergine upset my stomach?

    You may have intolerance to nightshades.

    Cast iron vs Carbon steel?

    Sauté the eggplant slices on a cast iron pan/tawa with minimum oil to avoid deep frying it. I am not a fan of non-stick. Cast iron or seasoned carbon steel work best. Carbon steel is lighter and gives similar results. It tastes best when made on cast iron & carbon steel. However, you should not sprinkle amchur/dried mango powder when on pan. Sprinkle it after you remove the slices. Sour things react with cast iron and carbon steel. 

    Conclusion: fried brinjal slices are one of the most favorite recipes from Indian cuisine. It is an easy side dish with aromatic spices on deep fried large brinjal slices.
