Vangyache Bharit Recipe | Vangi Bharit – Maharashtrian Bharta with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Eggplant-based recipes are perhaps one of the common vegetable-based curry recipes from Indian cuisine. The adaptation and variation of the eggplant-based curries in Indian cuisine is simply astonishing which changes per state and region. One such eggplant-based curry is vangyache bharit recipe from Marathi cuisine known for its unique fire-smoky flavored mash.

As I was explaining, bharta is a common way of preparing eggplant mash curry. However, in Maharashtrian cuisine, it is prepared slightly differently with a choice of spices and a key ingredient. The key difference with the other traditional recipe is the use of powdered peanuts in this curry. As you may know, peanuts are an important ingredient in most of the Marathi cuisine recipes and it is evident in this recipe too. While the addition of peanut powder helps to get the flavor and consistency but reduces the impact of spices. Hence, in this curry all the assorted dry spice powder is added generously and hence the lip-smacking taste. Do try this way of making the bharta and I am certain that you would like it for sure.

In addition, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variations to the vangyache bharit recipe. Firstly, the choice of eggplant is critical for this recipe. As you see, the eggplant is deep fried, hence small sized mini eggplant are most preferred. Small eggplant is easy to manage. Secondly, the bharta is prepared using the deep frying method and not roasting it directly under the flame. Deep frying is the easier option, but roasting under flame is much more flavored with burnt charcoal flavor. Lastly, with the addition of spices, I have not added goda masala or god masala. But adding it makes it an authentic and traditional Marathi curry recipe.
