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.
