Vangi Bath Curry | Vaangi Baath Fry | Brinjal Rice Recipe|Vankaya Fry - Vaangi is Brinjal. And Baath is a mixture. Karnataka’s Vaangi Bath is extremely popular. It is an aromatic, spicy dish. It is very amenable for lunch boxes too. The powder that we make for the Curry stays fresh for a week. So, you can simply chop Brinjals and sprinkle this powder and make a curry any time in a jiffy.
I won’t say it is a very special Curry. Usually, for vaangi bath they make the Spice Powder and add it to the Rice. I just added it to the Brinjals, that is all.
I am a Telugu and Brinjals, and Gongura (Red Sorrel leaves) are nothing less than a slice of heaven for Telugus.
So whenever I come across a new flavor, I start thinking how it goes with Brinjals. That is how I used the Vangi bath Spicy Powder that was left over from making Vaangi Baath Rice to make Vaangi Baath Curry.

Tips
Brinjals:
The long, purple or white Brinjals are best suited for this recipe.
Ghee:
You could use Oil, if you like, but Ghee makes the powder very tasty.
Spicy Powder:
If the Spices are roasted slowly on a low fire, they give out the aroma. And if you store them in an airtight container, it stays fresh for at least a week. You could use it after a week too, but it may not be that fresh.
