Bangladeshi Begun Bhaja/ Fried Eggplant/ Fried Brinjal Recipe 🍆
"Begun Bhaja" is a traditional and authentic recipe from my country Bangladesh.
"Begun" is the Bengali word for "brinjal" and "Bhaja" means "fried". "Begun Bhaja" is nothing but marinated and fried brinjal slices.
This is one of my favorite go-to comfort foods. Very easy to make and you can experiment with spices to your taste if you make a fusion on your own.
This side dish can be eaten with rice and fish curry, khichri or just as a snack. Speciality in the rainy day I would like to eat this Fried Eggplant with khichri, muttun curry and mango chutney.
The speciality of this Bangladeshi recipe is that, you have to use mustard oil for frying the eggplant slices.
The sweet and special aroma of mustard make the recipe more tasty and flavorsome . Let's cook. Take Love from Bangladesh. 💜
