1To begin making Doi Begun Recipe (Bengali Style Eggplant in Curd Gravy), wash and cut the eggplant into thin round slices.
2Sprinkle with a little salt and turmeric powder. Heat oil for frying in a wok.

5Now add ginger and green chillies, stir a bit till the ginger is mellowed and the raw smell goes.
6Now add salt, sugar, turmeric and chilli powder and saute a bit till combined. Take care not to burn the mixture.
7Add in the whisked yogurt and half a cup of water to it.
8Stir the mixture, cook for a quick boil on medium heat. Now add the fried eggplants.Stir and cook for a minute so that the flavours seep in a bit.
