Begun Bhaja Recipe | Baingan Fry | Bengali Baingan Bhaja Recipe
Begun bhaja is a popular Bengali side dish that is commonly prepared in every household. Here is a video recipe. Read the step-by-step procedure with images.
Begun bhaja is a traditional Bengali-style recipe that is prepared as a side dish in every household. The Bengali begun bhaja is prepared by smearing turmeric powder, salt and red chilli powder on the large eggplant pieces, which are later deep-fried.
The baingan fry is crunchy and soft; and though the spices added are minimal, it has a good burst of flavours. Begun bhaja is traditionally prepared with mustard oil, which has a strong pungent smell and gives a unique taste to the dish. However, if you don't like the taste of mustard oil, you can prepare it with regular cooking oil.
Begun bhaja is a simple yet appetizing side dish and is extremely easy to prepare at home. Here is a video followed by a detailed step-by-step procedure with images on how to make the traditional begun bhaja recipe.
