Air Fryer Begun Bhaji

Yields4 Servings

Begun Bhaji is something that I grew up eating in my Bengali household, but now that I have my own household, I realize how unhealthy all that deep frying is. I wanted to recreate the same flavors but in a healthier way, so here is my air fryer Begun Bhaji. Same authentic flavor, half the calories!

 ½ large eggplant (cut into 1/2 inch disks)
 1 tsp tumeric
 1 tsp chili powder
 1 tsp salt
 2 tbsp mustard oil
1

Preheat your air fryer to 280 degree F. Mix all your spices together and sprinkle evenly on all the eggplant pieces.

2

Add the mustard oil to each piece evenly. Spray air fryer with a little bit of avocado spray. Lay pieces in one layer evenly (may need to do multiple batches).

3

Bake for 20-25 (for extra crispy) minutes, flipping halfway through. Enjoy with a side of rice and daal!
