Homemade machamche beeguni and egg chop for afternoon snack.

My sincere greetings to everyone. I hope everyone is well. Whenever I get some time in the midst of my daily busy schedule, I like to make something new for afternoon snack. The taste of a homemade hot breakfast is different from the unhealthy food from outside shops. This afternoon, I suddenly felt like making two traditional Bengali iftar or afternoon snack. So I quickly made everyone's favorite egg chop and machamche beeguni. Today I am sharing that cooking experience and some pictures with you.

Egg chop is a very favorite dish of everyone, young and old. To make it, I first boiled potatoes and grated them well. Then I made a potato mixture with fried onion, chopped green chili, coriander leaves, chaat masala and a little garam masala. I boiled and chopped eggs as the inner filling.

After coating the eggs with potato starch and giving them a beautiful oval shape, it was time for coating. First, I rolled the chops in a little flour, dipped them in the beaten egg, and finally coated them well in breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs. The wonderful aroma that came out while heating the oil in a pan and frying them until golden brown in the oil, half of my hunger was satisfied! After placing them in the basket, they were as crispy as they looked and tasted great.

After frying the egg chops, I started preparing the beeguni. Our afternoon chat or Ramadan iftar is incomplete without beeguni. The main secret to making perfect beeguni lies in its besan ball.

I made a thick batter by mixing besan with a little rice powder, black cumin, turmeric-chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, and a little baking powder. I cut the eggplants into thin slices and sprinkled them with a little salt. Then, I dipped each eggplant piece in the gram flour and dropped it in the hot oil, and they puffed up beautifully. I fried them until they were perfectly golden and crispy.

The aroma of the grill filling the house and the hot egg chops and purple curry arranged on the plate are all that is needed to make the afternoon tea conversation come alive. The joy of eating this hot breakfast together with the whole family is different. The taste of this home-made food in a healthy way was in no way inferior to the store-bought one.
