Vangi Bhaat is a very popular rice dish from Maharashtra, India. Brinjal Rice is equally popular in Tamil Nadu, India and known as kathirikai Sadam with little variation. It is also known as vangi bath. To prepare this dish, we start by preparing the masala powder which is used to make this dish along with fried brinjals/eggplants.
