Beguni
Beguni is a mouth-watering snack and ideal to be eaten on a rainy day. In Kolkata, it is sold in every single neighborhood and street corner. It is eaten with puffed rice typically. If you don’t want to buy it from outside then here is your chance. Also, beguni is served in wedding parties during lunch to go with rice and daal and in small or large parties at home too. The key to good beguni is to have good brinjal and thin slices.
