Begun
Poda is a simple preparation and hardly takes few minutes to prepare and serve.
In winter
we get lovely begun/brinjal, the purple skin shining and tempting and
inviting to cook the rustic yet special home-made begun pora. This is not a typical
winter dish but cooked all through the year for the lovely begun/brinjal can be
found all the year round in the veggy world. The begun poda is related to the north Indian baingan-ka-bharta. If we are to compare one to the other, the poda is simple and easy and takes less time to prepare than its close cousin the bharta.
