Bengali begun pora – A traditional dish

March 24, 2020 By admin 1 Comment

Begun pora is a traditional Bengali dish which is prepared with roasted brinjal (eggplant). You may think it is similar to North Indian baigan bharta.But it is actually different in taste because here all raw ingredients are used except brinjal. So taste is certainly very special. Begun means brinjal/eggplant and pora means burns or roast. That is why it is called as begun pora. I rhink almost every Bengali people love this dish during winter season.

Though I generally enjoy baingan bharta when I want to have it with roti, paratha or naan. But for having it with rice, I prefer begun pora. But your situation will be different like our other family members.

So what do you like more – baingan bharta or begun poraa? I think if you are Bengali then you probably say it is begun pora.

In my I like both and eat such dishes throughout the year. I have also grown 6 matured brinjal plants and those plants are providing 5-7 brinjals every week. Harvesting fresh brinjals from the rooftop plants always gives me happiness & joy.
