vangi bath recipe

Vangi bath recipe with step by step photos. Vangi bath recipe is a popular variety rice from Karnataka and Maharastra.  Vangi bath recipe is prepared by tossing spicy eggplant with rice. This brinjal rice is a very quick and popular meal option for busy days. Few more popular quick meal options are tawa pulao, easy veg pulao, lemon rice, coconut milk rice recipes. Here I am sharing Karnataka vangi bath.

Karnataka vangi bath recipe is easy to make. If you have the vangi bath masala powder handy the whole recipe can be made in 15 minutes. In this recipe I have shared the method for making homemade vangi bath masala powder. This masala powder is also used to make khara bath in karnataka. some more tasty karnataka special recipes shared in the blog are akki roti, ennegayi, mysore rasam, udupi sambar recipes.

The taste of vangi bath greatly depends on vangi bath masala powder. I always prefer to make homemade vangi bath masala powder. However I have tried some organic locally made vangi bath masala powder and liked it too. You can also use MTR vangi bath powder for this recipe.

To make vangi bath recipe use cooked and cooled rice. Leftover rice can also be used to make this brinjal rice. This is a really easy dish that even students, bachelors can prepare with minimum work. Just cook the eggplants and season with spice powder. Further add the cooked rice and toss.

I know two ways for making vangi bath. The first and easy method I have shared here. The second way is to stuff the masala powder in tiny eggplants and saute them. The spice powder I am sharing today is similar to MTR brand vangi masala powder. You can alter the proportion of ingredients to suit your taste. You can use green eggplants or tender purple eggplants in this recipe. The eggplants should be tender and fresh for best tasting vangi bath.

Preparing vangi bath is very easy once the powder and rice is ready. This rice suits well for lunch box too. It tastes very good even at room temperature.

You can serve vangi bath with raita,chips, pickle.
