Cooking Time: 3 minutes for frying one batch of Beguni

Recipe Yield: 3-4 servings (2 beguni per serving)

Alternate Names: বেগুনী, बैंगनी, Bainguni, Baiguni, Egg Plant Fritters

Ingredients for making Beguni:

  • Long variety of Brinjal or Lambe aakar ka baingan - 2-3, medium size
  • Salt as per taste
  • Turmeric powder or haldi powder - 1 tea spoon
  • Red Chilli Powder or lal mirch powder - 1 tea spoon
  • Cumin Powder or jeera powder - 1/2 tea spoon
  • Black Pepper Powder or kali mirch powder - 1/2 tea spoon
  • Gram Flour or besan - 1/2 cup
  • Semolina or sooji - 2 table spoon
  • Mustard Oil or sarson ka tel - as per requirement to fry the Beguni
  • Water - as per requirement to make batter for making Beguni

Procedure for making Beguni:

  1. Take the long variety of brinjals and wash them nicely with clean water. Then cut off the green stem and cut out long slices from it. The slices should be thina nd cut along the length.
  2. Now take another deep mixing bowl and add gram flour and semolina to it. Mix the 2 dry ingredients.
  3. Then add salt, turmeric powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder and red chilli powder to it. Mix well again.
  4. Now slowly add some water to the dry mixture and mix to form a medium thick batter. Remember that no lumps are formed. Also note, that the batter should neither be very thick nor very thin in consistency.
  5. Allow the batter to rest for 20 minutes.
  6. Heat some mustard oil in a kadhai and allow it to become hot enough for frying.
  7. Take one brinjal slice and dip it in the batter prepared earlier. Dip it nicely so that the slice gets coated with the batter on all sides.
  8. Now check if the oil is hot enough for frying by putting a drop of batter into the hot oil. If the drop fries and comes to the surface quickly then it means that the oil is hot enough for cooking and you can lower the flame to medium level.
  9. Then place the brinjal slice coated with batter into the kadhai for frying. If your kadhai is big in size then add 3-4 pieces of brinjal to fry at one time.
  10. Allow the brinjal to fry slowly until crispy over medium-low flame. Flip and fry it uniformly on both sides.
  11. Transfer the fried beguni to a plate covered with tissue paper and fry the remaining pieces in the same way. 
  12. The hot and crispy beguni are ready to be served. Enjoy it with dal and rice as a side dish, or along with a cup of tea as snack.

बेगुनी बनाने की प्रक्रिया:

  1. लंबे आकार के बैंगन लें और उन्हें साफ पानी से अच्छी तरह धो लें। फिर बैंगन के तने को काट लें और इससे लंबे स्लाइस काट लें। स्लाइस लंबे और पतले होने चाहिए।
  2. अब एक और गहरा मिश्रण कटोरा लें और इसमें बेसन और सूजी डालें। दोनों सूखी सामग्री को मिलाएं।
  3. फिर इसमें नमक, हल्दी पाउडर, जीरा पाउडर, काली मिर्च पाउडर और लाल मिर्च पाउडर डालें। दोनों सामग्री को अच्छी तरह से मिलाएं।
  4. अब धीरे-धीरे सूखे मिश्रण में थोड़ा पानी डालें और सारी सामग्री को मिलाकर मध्यम गाढ़ा घोल तैयार करें। याद रखें कि कोई गांठ नहीं बनें। यह भी ध्यान रखें कि यह घोल न तो बहुत गाढ़ा होना चाहिए और न ही बहुत पतला होना चाहिए।
  5. इस बेसन के घोल को 20 मिनट तक अलग रख दें।
  6. एक कढ़ाई में थोड़ा सरसों का तेल डालकर गरम करें और इसे तलने के लिए पर्याप्त गरम होने दें।
  7. एक बैंगन का स्लाइस लें और इसे तैयार बेसन के घोल में डुबो दें। इसे अच्छी तरह से डुबोएं ताकि यह सभी तरफ बैंगन के घोल से कोट हो जाए।
  8. अब गरम तेल में घोल की एक बूंद डालकर देखें कि तेल बैंगन के स्लाइसेस तलने के लिए पर्याप्त गरम होगया है या नहीं। यदि ड्रॉप फ्राइ होकर सतह पर जल्दी से आजाती है तो इसका मतलब है कि तेल तलने के लिए पर्याप्त गरम है और आप आंच को मध्यम स्तर तक कम कर सकते हैं।
  9. फिर तलने के लिए कढ़ाई में घोल से कोट किया हुआ बैंगन का स्लाइस डालें। यदि आपका कढ़ाई बड़ी है तो आप एक बार में 3-4 बैंगन के स्लाइसेस तलने के लिए डाल सकते हैं।
  10. मध्यम-कम आंच पर बैंगन को धीरे-धीरे कुरकुरा होने तक तलने दें। दोनों तरफ पर समान रूप से उलट-पलट कर तलें।
  11. तले हुए बेगुनी को टिशू पेपर से ढके हुए प्लेट में निकाल लें और शेष टुकड़ों को उसी तरह तल लें।
  12. गरमा-गरम और कुरकुरे बेगुनी परोसे जाने के लिए तैयार हैं। आप चाहे तो बेगुनी का दाल और चावल के साथ एक साइड डिश के रूप में या एक कप चाय के साथ स्नैक्स के रूप में इनका आनंद ले सकते हैं।
