Dahi Begun is a Bengali preparation and can be enjoyed with both Rice or Roti. I picked this recipe from a friend Nidhi Ark in the food groups that I manage of Facebook. It is a very simple and easy dish and delicious as well. I have tweaked it a bit to suit our taste.
Ingredients :
5 medium sized Brinjals/Aubergine cut lengthwise
1/4 tsp Haldi/ Turmeric powder
1 cup curds whisked well

A pinch of Hing/Asafoetida
1/4 tsp Garam masala
1 inch piece ginger grated
1/4 tsp Chilly powder
3 green chillies slit
Salt
1 tsp sugar
Coriander leaves for garnish
Method:
Marinate the sliced Brinjal with Haldi and salt for about ten minutes. Heat oil in a pan and roast them to a golden brown. Drain and keep aside. In the same oil add the Jeera , Hing, Dry red chilly and Bay leaf. Saute for a minute and then drop in the grated ginger and slit green chillies. Saute for a minute again and drop in a glass of water. Bring to a boil. Add the curds, red chilly powder, sugar and Garam masala. Adjust salt. Stir continuously on a gentle flame till it starts boiling. Drop in the roasted Brinjal. Cover and cook for a minute. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.

This is an easy to make and absolutely delicious preparation which is traditionally made as a breakfast eat, but is so filling that it can substitute for lunch as well. Served with either Chutney, Sagoo or Butter, it can be made in no time.
Ingredients :
250 gms Rice flour
100 gms Idli Rava
1 large onion
9 Green Chillies
Coriander leaves
15 mint leaves
5 tbsps finely grated coconut
Salt
Oil to roast the Akki roti
Method:
Tip the Rice flour and Idli rava in a bowl. Chop the onions, Coriander leaves and mint leaves fine. Drop them into the rice flour, idli rava mixture. Coarsely crush the green chillies and tip them in too. Add the grated coconut, salt and add enough water to make a dough of patting consistency. Allow to rest for fifteen minutes. The idli rava soaks in all the water. Mix again and if required add some more water so that the dough can be patted easily on the skillet. Heat a tava/skillet. Lower flame and pat the dough on to it to a six inch diameter Roti. Drizzle with a tsp of oil. Allow to cook. Flip and roast on the other side too. The entire process should be carried out on a gentle to medium flame to ensure even cooking.
