I love to have rice any time than phulkas , I know rice is not a healthy option but atleast once in a day we love to have rice. As I love rice i love to make variety rice and not the usual dal chawal , rasam chawal or kadhi chawal. I and my mom our big fans of brinjal, my mom makes delicious brinjal peanut curry and also how can i forget the kathirikai karakuzhambu . Today’s recipe is delicious and aromatic rice from south India, It is almost made in all parts of south India and each state has its own variations. I have made Vangi bhath couple of time and this recipe is my fav. Vangi bhath is made in different methods the karnataka method is to make the curry and mix with the cooked rice and the maharastrian version is make the curry with goda masala and cook the rice with the brinjals. After so many days am happy to blog , I have some array fo rice recipes in my draft. Wish me luck to be regular in blogging so that you see the array coming :).. Lets move on to the recipe now..
