I have posted a version of Vangi bath or eggplant pulav in my space quite sometime ago. Brinjal or Eggplant or Katharikkai is not a favourite with our kids and my husband. So I have to find dishes to sneak it in. However when it is its season I cannot resist the small cute brinjals. Other day I brought some. I wanted to try out brinjal masala but after seeing this in Bhat’s special I wanted to try out this version. I love the idea of tamarind paste and jaggery. It came out quite nice.I have used brown rice. But white or basmati rice would go well too
