Beguni is a delicious and flavorful snack that can be enjoyed on its own, but it's also commonly served with a variety of accompaniments that complement its taste. One popular way to serve beguni is with a tangy tamarind chutney or a spicy mint-coriander chutney. The chutneys add an extra dimension of flavor to the snack and balance out the richness of the fried eggplant.

Beguni can also be served with a cup of hot tea or coffee, which makes for a comforting and satisfying snack. Some people also like to pair it with a side salad or some sliced cucumbers and tomatoes to add a refreshing element to the dish.
