vangi bath rice recipe /brinjal rice(bhath)

Basically any brinjal lover will never give a miss towards this vangi bath rice recipe.From childhood me and my brother don’t have any disliking for any vegetable that’s the great advantage for my mum to cook anything without any restrictions.Iam a big brinjal lover too!have always had a special pleasure having it in any form (variations). Mostly I feel contented having simple stir fried brinjals(kathrikkai poriyal)with plain rice.It has been ages since I had prepared this vangi bath rice recipe even now I remember making it keeping my favourite mallika badrinath’s book by my side.Referring then and there when making it as a newly married new comer girl to the kitchen! I was quite excited about the outcome.Everybody have their own way of preparing this vangi bath according to their own taste preferences.So,after such a long time am making it and its a definite different kind of variety rice from the usual routine tamarind,lemon rice varieties.
