Begun Basanti ( Traditional Dish from Bengal)

I made in Microwave oven but you can also make it in Gas oven.
This is a very tasty recipe of brinjal and enjoyed with steamed rice.It takes very less time to cook and these recipes are enjoyed by all bengalis.Being a bong thought of sharing this recipe and twist is to make it in a more healthy way and easy way in a microwave oven.I have served this is on banana leaf to make it look more traditional.
