Vangi Bhath / Brinjal Rice(Karnataka Special)
Vangi bhath or Brinjal rice is very easy to make and if you have vangi bhath powder in hand its even quicker. I would call this a perfect lunch box recipe for kids or even for bachelors. I don't stock the vangi bhath powder for long since it has coconut in it. Always make podi fresh ,they give their flavor best when its made fresh. So I don't recommend to stock this powder for long,but if you want to you can keep in fridge for a week and they stay fresh. I make this little differently with groundnut powder but without grounds also they tasted well. So linking this to vali Cooking FROM COOKBOOK CHALLENGE. (CCCHALLENGE)
