It comes in different cuts, Lomba Datiwala Begun Bhaja, the long-cut variety with stem intact and Gol Begun Bhaja, made with round slices. Both are wonderfully paired with Luchi and Khichuri, making it quite a difficult choice to decide which combination is better.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c76d55d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c76d55d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Personally, I consider Lomba Datiwala Begun Bhaja the refined version of Begun Bhaja. I have fond memories of enjoying it at wedding banquets, traditionally served with Luchi- a rare treat these days. \u201cLomba\u201d refers to its elongated shape, while \u201cDanti\u201d means the stem. So, Lomb Datiwala Begun Bhaja, is essentially long-fried eggplant with stem intact. According to my mother, the secret lies in proper marination and choosing the right cut of eggplant. The quality of eggplant is equally important.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b3e5a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8b3e5a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ingredients<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82e3672 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82e3672\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><p>2 nos.
