Beguni (Bengali: বেগুনী) is a common Bengali snack. It is made of eggplant (also known as aubergine or brinjal) which is sliced and dipped in gram flour batter before being either fried or deep fried in oil. This dish is an Iftar staple among Bengali Muslims. This dish is also popular in eastern Indian states of Assam and Tripura. A similar European dish is known as aubergine fritters.
The dish may be prepared by coating eggplant with besan paste and then frying the pieces in oil. The eggplant is usually cut longitudinally (Bengali: বেগুন begun) and dipped in a batter of Bengal gram flour with salt and turmeric, and deep-fried in mustard oil.
