Beguni / Baigan pakoda -Batter coated deep fried Aubergine fritters topped with tangy salsa
Beguni /baigan pakora or baigan fry is a very popular snack in India,specially in Bengal. Brinjal slices are coated/dipped in spiced gram flour batter and then deep fried in mustard oil or any refined oil.
I often serve these with ketchup or mint chutney,but yesterday I tried a slightly different way to serve this Baigan Pakoda,which looks good,tempting and taste delicious.You can roast the tomato and capsicum and then peel and chop to get the smoky flavour in your salsa.
Try these delicious street food of India-
