Beguni is a delightful, yummy snack, just perfect for a rainy day. Fresh purple brinjal slices, dipped in chick-pea flour batter and deep-fried to a warm, crunchy golden brown. Crisp eggplant fritters or Vankayya Bajji are best relished as a snack or served as a side dish with Khichdi/daal-rice. Enjoy this popular Bengali snack recipe with a hot cup of chai!
Brinjal is native to India and it’s available in purple, green or white varieties. As cut eggplants tend to brown very quickly, you need to keep them immersed in water or sprinkle some lemon juice over the eggplant slices. Eggplant also absorbs a lot of oil and it’s advised to “degorge” eggplants – sprinkle salt over the brinjal slices, let stand for 15 minutes, rinse under running water and pat dry. This process also helps remove the bitterness, if any.
Brinjal is widely used in Indian cuisine and it’s called the ‘king of vegetables’. Eggplant or Brinjal is low in calories but rich in fiber. It prevents cancer, heart disease, slows down aging and has a low glycemic index.
Eggplant bajji recipe is a deliciously easy snack of crispy fried eggplant fritters made with chickpea flour. Bajjis are just the recipe to brighten up a damp, chilly day. Crispy fried eggplant bajjis served with tomato ketchup and a steaming cup of masala chai – truly heavenly!
