Begun - Posto (Brinjal with Poppy seed)

Brinjal is a vegetable, in Bengali, people call which "begun" that means which has no quality ; but ultimately the fact is not that. It has various food values in it. Generally it is a vegetable which people like to eat as fry,but other than fry it can be used in so many recipes. Among them begun-posto (egg plant with poppy seed) is a tasty one. I can guarantee a vegetarian can complete his lunch with this menu only. Here, I am trying to give you  its taste. I am sure you must enjoy it.
