I have a flat version (ie no ridges like a grill) that rendered excellent begun bhaja with very little oil. The trick is to slice the rounds thick enough so both plates, top and bottom, make contact. For me, this ended up being almost an inch wide. I washed and drained the slices, tossed with haldi and salt, brushed each surface with oil and popped into the press. 5 mins later, re-brushed with oil. took about 15 mins for near-perfect bhaja. Tell me if this works for you as, well.Chandreyeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630831559826829910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-46727737729262287942015-10-21T16:08:48.937-04:002015-10-21T16:08:48.937-04:00This recipe is going to save me from deep frying t...This recipe is going to save me from deep frying those egg plants tonight for Ashthami bhog.
