Vangi bhath is a rice preparation,in which brinjals/eggplant are sauteed with  the spices along with the ground masala powder and mixed with the rice.The freshly ground masala powder is the key ingredient for this rice which gives the excellent flavor and taste.Here goes the recipe for the simple and delicious,flavorful rice.........
