Kolhapuri Vangyacha Bharit, Vaangyache bharit with kolhapur special masala

Todays recipe is from the fiery state of kolhapur in maharashtra  named as kolhapuri vangyacha bharit.





 


 


Vangi means brinjals and bharit is a tasty Roasted Brinjal Mash. it is known as baingan bharta in hindi I personally love to eat bharit and like to make them in different styles.

Here are few variations in the bharit that I prepare

marathi vangyacha bharit
khandeshi vanga bharit
punjabi baingan bharta

coming to todays recipe the heart of this recipe is the famous kolhapur kanda lasun masala which you can make at home or else you will find in grocery stores in Mumbai .Kanda Lasun or OnionGarlic Masala is made from 50 dried and roasted spices.

Vaangyacha Bharit is very tempting, unique tasting, smoky flavoured dish .
