In Bengali term "Begun" means without quality. I don't know why the name is like that. Brinjal or eggplant is a nutritious vegetable. It contains Vit A & Vit B, Phosphorus, Calcium and Iron. There are lots of food recipe made by brinjal. I personally like brinjal from fried brinjal to roasted brinjal, everything. This "Masala Brinjal" is just awesome. I request everybody to please make it in the kitchen & try it as a main dish.
Slice brinjals or eggplants vertically.
Marinate with salt and turmeric powder.
Heat oil in the kadhai.
Deep fry the brinjals in the heated oil.
Keep 3-4tsps of heated oil in the kadhai and aside excess or remaining oil.

Let it boil the whole matter in light flame.
After boiling the brinjal put off the flame.
