Friends , in Bangalore weather is getting cool . Sometimes rains are falling and night becomes relaxed and me too enjoying a sound sleep . Really I am feeling blessed when I can sleep properly ! And a rainy season means , evening treat with a cup of hot tea. A full fledged adda (gossip) with friends and some yummy snacks like home made jhal moori (try- masala moori ) along with fried snacks like Beguni, Aalur chop , Fuluri , Pyaji etc. These all are actually Kolkata snacks , in every gully (narrow lane) , you will get these in small shop. They are frying continuously and its getting sold out like hot cake . So friends I want share one of this fried item called beguni in Kolkata.

 Beguni - Esho Bosho Aahare
This beguni actually famous with some rice items also like fried rice(Indian), pulao etc. To prepare this easy recipe , you need seed less brinjal means that brinjal only which has very rare seeds in it. 
I am sharing a trick to buy more seed less brinjal- Whenever you are going to buy brinjal, feel to have more light than others by your hand. More light in weight means , there is a chance to become seed less . So now check out this recipe.

6 Brinjal slices (long thin slices) marinate with little salts.

Batter Ingredients :

1/2 cup Besan / Gram flour
2 tbsp Maida / Flour 
1/2 tsp onion seeds

1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
2/4 tsp Cumin powder
1 tsp Poppy seeds
2 pinch asafoetida
2 pinch sodium bi carbonate
salt to taste

How to Cook :
  1. Mix all batter ingredients with little water to make slight thick batter.
  2. Heat oil in a pan.
  3. Apply batter in each brinjal slice and fry until it turns into brownish in color.
  4. Keep aside .

So we identify them only by their special and identical cooking preparation which are really well known by all of us.As for example For Mughlai khana we always know that Biriyani is the most favorable delicacy.
