  • 2 eggplants, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1tablespoons olive oil
  • 1tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or finely chopped
  • 2 fresh hot red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • 2-3 zucchini, cut into batons
  • 2 red capsicums, deseeded and roughly chopped
  • 2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Method

Step 1 of 4

First, make the dipping sauce. Whisk together all the ingredients, and season well with salt and black pepper.

Step 2 of 4

Once you have all the vegetables prepared, pour the oil into the wok, and heat until very hot.

Step 3 of 4

Meanwhile, make the batter. Whisk together the flour, cornflour, and iced water. Do not overbeat; it doesn’t matter if the batter is a little lumpy.

Step 4 of 4

Drop a little of the batter into the oil, to test whether the oil is hot enough - it should sizzle straight away and become crisp. Dip the vegetable pieces one by one into the batter, and shake away the excess. Carefully add to the oil, a few at a time, and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon, and keep warm on a plate lined with kitchen paper until all the vegetable pieces are cooked. Serve immediately with the chilli dipping sauce.
