Vangi Bath is a popular South Indian rice dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is made with a fragrant blend of spices and brinjals, giving it a unique and delicious flavor. At Jeyashri's Kitchen, we like to use long grain rice for this recipe, as it holds up well and absorbs all the flavors of the spices. Let's get started on making this flavorful and aromatic Vangi Bath.Vangi Bath Recipe - Brinjal Rice - Jeyashri's Kitchen
To begin with, we need to prepare the brinjals. Wash and chop 2 medium-sized brinjals into small cubes and keep them in a bowl of water until ready to use. This will prevent them from turning brown. Next, in a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, and a pinch of asafoetida. Once the seeds start to splutter, add in 1 chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent.Vangi Bath Recipe - How to make Vangi Bath - Jeyashri's Kitchen
Now, add in 1 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute. Then, add in 1 chopped tomato and cook until it turns mushy. Next, add in 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1 teaspoon of coriander powder. Mix well and cook for a minute. Then, add in the chopped brinjals, salt to taste, and 1 cup of water. Cover and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the brinjals are soft.Vangi Bath Recipe - How to make Vangi Bath - Jeyashri's Kitchen
While the brinjals are cooking, in a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and add in 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, and a pinch of asafoetida. Then, add in 1 tablespoon of dried curry leaves, 2 chopped green chilies, and 1 tablespoon of urad dal. Sauté until the dal turns golden brown. Next, add in 1/4 cup of roasted peanuts and sauté for a minute. This will add a nice crunch to the dish.Vangi Bath Recipe - How to make Vangi Bath - Jeyashri's Kitchen
