Vangi Bath (Brinjal Rice)

This is my favourite rice item to make during festivals. Vangi means Brinjal. So this is basically brinjal rice.

To make the masala:-
1. Chana daal - 1 cup
2. Urad daal - 1 cup
3. Dhania - 3/4 cup
4. Dry red chillies - 5 peices
5. Dal chini - 2 small peices

Dry gfry all the above (without oil) and grind them to a fine powder
1. Take medium sized 5 brinjals and cut them length wise
2. Take oil in a pan and season with chandaal, urad daal, mustard seeds, hing and turmeric powder.
3. once they sputter add currly leaves and green chillies
4. Now add brinjals and aloo also if you like it
5. Fry them till cooked on low flame
6. Add the masala powder grinded earlier.
7. you will notice the nice aroma that comes at this point. Add more oil if required.
8. now mix this curry you made in rice. The rice should now be in nice brown color.
9. Add salt and vangi bath is ready!

You can add peanuts and kajoo also while seasoning to make the dish look richer.
