South Asian 😱😱🔥🔥 Bangladeshi STREET FOOD Beguni Selling OLD MAN.

Beguni is a popular Bangladeshi street food consisting of eggplant slices dipped in a chickpea flour batter and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Here's a simple recipe to make it at home:
Ingredients:
1 large eggplant (aubergine)
1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Salt to taste
Water (as needed to make a batter)
Oil for deep frying
Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Eggplant**:
Wash the eggplant and cut it into thin slices (about 1/4 inch thick).
Sprinkle some salt over the slices and let them sit for about 15 minutes. This helps remove excess moisture and bitterness from the eggplant.
Pat the slices dry with a paper towel.
2. **Make the Batter**:
In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, turmeric powder, chili powder, cumin powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add water while whisking to create a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still fluid.
3. **Fry the Beguni**:
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Dip each eggplant slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Carefully place the battered slices into the hot oil. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
Fry until the slices are golden brown and crispy on both sides, turning occasionally.
Remove the beguni from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. **Serve**:
Serve hot beguni with your favorite chutney or a cup of tea.
Enjoy this delicious Bangladeshi street food, reminiscent of the flavors you'll find from local vendors!
