Khandeshi Vangyache Bharith | Vangi Bharith Recipe
vangyache bharit
khandeshi bharith

This recipe is little spicy but very delicious ….it looks green …the aroma of coriander, green onions and garlic gives it a very tempting flavor .

I have tasted variety of eggplants(vangi/brinjal/baingan) from almost all parts of India…But the best one which I had ever tasted is from “khandesh”(which is also called “Banana Republic of India”) ,  irrigated agricultural region of western India…The big light green shiny slender shape eggplant ( brinjal /  aubergine ) are available exclusively in this region of Maharashtra…This brinjal are huge and one might weigh up to 2-3.5lbs…the roasted eggplant recipe of this eggplant tastes the best … I’m following the same recipe which is very traditional in this part of India … if you ever visit the small village of this region of khandesh you will love to stuff yourself with this spicy recipe…the traditional roasting of this brinjal is done on bonfire  … Well now I don’t stay in north maharashtra so I’m using the big purple eggplant for this recipe.

  1. I’m from Jalgaon Khandesh now staying in USA and I know how heavenly this recepie tastes. I miss this dish very much. Thank you so much for uploading this dish. Nostalgia!!!!

  2. It reminds of vangi bharit kendra in jalgoan.
    for vangi bharit lover that place is as holy as any of char dham.
    it is called shri krishna bharit kendra

  3. Skype has launched its web-dependent consumer beta on the entire world, soon after launching
    it broadly inside the United states and U.K. previously this calendar month.
    Skype for Web also now supports Chromebook and Linux for instant messaging communication (no video and voice but, all those need a
    plug-in installation).

    The expansion from the beta contributes help for an extended
    selection of different languages to help you strengthen that overseas user friendliness
