Beguni / Baigan pakoda -Batter coated deep fried Aubergine fritters topped with tangy salsa

Beguni /baigan pakora or baigan fry is a very popular snack in India, specially of Bengal. Brinjal slices are coated/dipped in spiced gram flour batter and then deep fried in mustard oil or any refined oil.
I often  serve these Beguni with ketchup or mint chutney but yesterday I tried  a slightly different way to serve this Baigan Pakoda which looks good,  tempting and taste delicious. You can roast the tomato and capsicum and then peel and chop to get the smoky flavor in your salsa.
Instead of making this tomato salsa you can use readymade salsa or any fruit salsa of your choice
