Vangibaath is a traditional recipe from karnataka, India. Also popular in Tamilnadu and Andhra pradesh with different names. Which is prepared in daily basis with available ingredients at home.
This is a simple rice with fried eggplant and a special masala powder added to it, gives nice flavor and taste. I adapted this recipe from my blog friend Prema of Premas cook. You can also add Cinnamon, cloves, tamarind juice and red chillies as per you taste to get Tamilnadu, Andhra style vangi bath.
