Vij of Spices N Aroma has the answer to… your craving for a new and healthy snack, your need to create an impressive but no-fuss appetizer for your dinner guests; the list goes on! You don’t have to stop at the corner mart to pick up a bag of chips on your way home tonight. Even if you’ve just heard that a few friends will be stopping by, you can still impress them with Vij’s Aubergine Fritters.

Vij says her little sister puts this quick treat together when unexpected guests drop by. Even though the fritters look like they might take an entire afternoon to prepare, especially the way Vij has elegantly plated them, you can make these in just a few minutes. You don’t even have to worry about having cheese and crackers around just in case, Vij insists that anyone can make them.

Unlike chips, you can choose what kind of oil to fry these chips in, or even how much salt and pepper are sprinkled on the chips. There is also a nice chili and garlic sauce recipe that Vij shares with us, the perfect dip for these crunchy eggplant chips!
