Beguni – Eggplant Fitters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We all have pakoras<\/em> every now and then, what all can we make into pakoras<\/em>? The regulars are potato, onion, chili, bread and more, however the state of West Bengal also uses baingan<\/em> or brinjal<\/em>\u00a0or eggplant to make a very similar dish. This dish is called Beguni or Baingani or Eggplant Fritters (Baingan Pakora). It is made with slices of baingan<\/em> coated with a batter of gram flour or besan<\/em> and deep fried in oil. I added a pinch of baking powder to make them more crispy. These fritters would go well as an evening snack with or without chutney. Serve them with a hot cup of tea and they would make the evening more special. Lets see in this Beguni – Eggplant Fritters Recipe on how to make it.<\/p>\n
