## About

It is basically an easy and simple variation or extension of the traditional bhaingan bharta recipe made with a unique blend of local Marathi cuisine spices. **Vangyache Bharit** is a Maharashtrian delicacy made with mini eggplants, deep fried till cooked. This is later minced and sauteed with a blend of native spice mix and peanut powder to make it a super tasty and lip-smacking semi-dry curry.

The choice of eggplant to make **Vangi Bharit** has to be small-sized as it is easy to deep fry them. Moreover, small or mini-size eggplant is tender and making it a perfect choice for a minced curry. Moreover, roasting these small eggplants can be a tiresome and tedious task and hence deep frying is a perfect solution. Once the semi-dry curry is prepared, it can be an ideal side dish for any type of roti or even flavored rice recipes.

* Firstly, frying the brinjal is optional. you can also roast it on the flame directly.

* Also, adding roasted peanuts gives a crunchy bite to the bharta.

* Additionally, you can increase the spice of bhartha by adding more chilli.

* Finally, **Vangyache Bharit Recipe** tastes great when prepared with a generous amount of oil.
