Vangi Bhaat

Originating from Karnataka- Vangi Bath literally translates to ‘fried brinjal rice.’ It has a flavor of coconut spiced with brinjal, making it an extraordinary blend of tastes and aromas. Viewed as a dry dish it is often served with Mosaru Bajji or Raita. The art of cooking this delicacy is only found in India, and we like to transfer it to you.
