Brinjal Rice(Vangi Bhaat)

Traditional andhra recipe which we usually make at home.
This simple recipe is fast, simple and easy to make and so flavourful. and delicious.
I tried this recipe from one of Old Cookbooks but tweaked the recipe to add my tinge to it!!!
Groundnuts and coconut jazz up the taste of this wonderful vangi bhaat .

U can use either long brinjals or the short ones.
here’s how to:
first fry brinjals cut into pieces
onions: 2
chillies: 6 to 8
curry leaves

Take a tbsp of oil and add curry leaves, brinjals, chillies and sliced onion.Fry them till the brinjal pieces are cooked and brown in colour.Make sure u fry till the oil oozes out.Do not add water.

Now for the spice mix:

1/2 cup groundnuts

1/2 cup coconut

1/4 cup chana dal

Roast these three until u get nice aroma, and don’t burn them.

Add this mix to the fried brinjals and mix well.

Now try to mix this with rice already cooked( 2 cups would be great).

Make sure u add little less water as the rice should be not be pasty.


Make any occasion or event more special by serving this delicious one-dish meal.

Stumble it!

    Did you use fresh grated coconut or the dried ones ?? And do we need to grind the mix after roasting or grind 1st and then roast ?? Would love to try this dish as its the 1st time i heard about this.And hence so many questions :).
