Wash and cut the eggplant into thin slices. You can also cut the eggplant into round or long strips, depending on your preference.
In a bowl, mix turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin, and salt. Dab it along with some rice four and gram flour.
Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the eggplant slices or you can dip the slices into the mixture.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat to shallow fry.
Once the oil is hot, add the eggplant slices and fry until they turn crispy and golden brown on both sides.
Remove the eggplant slices from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Begun Bhaja hot with steamed rice, dal, or any other side dish of your choice.
Optional: You can also sprinkle some chaat masala or lemon juice on top of the Begun Bhaja for extra flavor.
