Vangi Bath | Karnataka Style Brinjal Rice | Tasty Vangi Bhath Recipe


Vangi Bath

Hi Supermoms,

'Vangi' in Kannada means 'Brinjal/ Aubergine/Eggplant'. This is a spicy brinjal rice made using the Vangi Bhat Masala. Long brinjal variety with less seeds are best suited to make this rice. If the masala is ready, you can make this rice within a few minutes. The rice tastes better when marinated for 2 hours. So, it is an ideal picnic or office/school lunch box dish. 

During summers, when you are not in a mood to make elaborate meals , this rice comes handy. I served the Vangi Bhat with cucumber and carrot raita and it tasted so delicious.
