Vangyacha Bharit is an accompaniment to polis and bhakaris during meals. Vanga means Brinjal, which is the principal ingredient of this recipe. The brinjal is roasted (traditionally on coal) which gives the dish a smoky flavour. It's super easy to make and tastes great !
Brinjals, also known as aubergines and eggplants, are a part of the nightshade family and are botanically berries that are related to tomatoes, potatoes and tobacco. This perennial plant is native to the Indian subcontinent and comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, each being used for a different type of preparation.
