Pin The basic recipe is from Chandra Padmanabhan’s Southern Spice, a book that I turn to so much for anything South Indian. Don’t be deterred by the long list of ingredients to make Vangi Bath, it’s just a bit detailed because I have given very clear instructions to prepare it. If you love eggplant or brinjal as much as we do, I highly recommend this szechuan egglant recipe, ennai kathirikkai kuzhambu, brinjal vindaloo which is my mom’s specialty, and this easy eggplant chutney recipe.
