Yummy Begun bhaja bengali way/Baigan fry bengali tarike se

Lot of my friends ask me how to fry brinjals my way as I am a bengali.They love the way bengalis fry.Though it is a simple video but still I thought of making this to show the technique used to make this dish.Sugar is not for sweetness but is mainly used to carmalize the brinjals while frying it.It will give a nice colour.Flour will give that extra crispyness which everyone loves.It will not make the brinjals soggy after frying.Being a bengali I use mustard oil but it can be fried in while oil too.
Marinate the brinjal for atleast 15 min so that it releases water and it stays crispy after frying.
Cut them in medium thickness.

1. Brinjal 1 long cut into circles
2. Red chilli powder- 1/4th tp
3. Sugar 1 tp
