Begun Basanti is a popular Bengali dish made with eggplant, mustard oil, and a tangy mustard sauce. The dish gets its name from the vibrant yellow color of the sauce, which is achieved by using turmeric. The eggplant is first fried until golden brown and then simmered in the mustard sauce, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic dish. Begun Basanti is typically served with steamed rice or roti and is a perfect choice for a vegetarian meal.
