Brinjal recipes | Baingan recipes, Collection of vankaya recipes

By swasthi , on May 21, 2019, 8 Comments,

Brinjal recipes – collection of easy and delicious eggplant or baingan recipes. Brinjal is known as eggplant or aubergine in other parts of the world & baingan in Indian language Hindi. Other regional names are vankaya in Telugu, vangi in marathi and kathirikai in tamil. It is a low calorie vegetable with good proven health benefits and often preferred by folks trying to reduce weight.

Eggplants are high in iron and minerals. So it is good to include them often even in kids diet. There are a few different varieties of brinjals that one gets to see. The most delicious are the young, tender purple eggplants which yield a unique flavor & taste.

In Indian cuisine these are widely used to make a variety of everyday dishes like Sambar, curry, Chutney, bharta, kootu, salan etc. They are loved by a wider population since they yield a buttery taste & also thicken the dishes like stews as we call pulusu in telugu.

Stuffed brinjals are one of the most popular in Indian cuisine. It is prepared similarly in almost all regional cuisines. Gutti vankaya, Enne kathirikai, Bharwa baingan are some of the common names to stuffed brinjals.

Vangi bath is one more popular brinjal recipes from Karnataka where plain rice is tempered with spiced seasoned brinjals. Vanakaya pachadi is a popular chutney recipe from Andhra often made during festivals and served with plain rice, ghee. It is similar to the baingan ka bharta made in North India.

In South India Biryani is enjoyed with a brinjal gravy or salan. This is served even in some restaurants along with biryani meal. I have compiled all the brinjal recipes shared on the blog earlier for convenience. This page will be updated whenever I share a brinjal recipe.

    Hello swasthi Garu,

    I am following ur blog from many days, especially for baby/toddler foods. I am mother to a one yr old baby boy. I also tried ur brinjal recipes. Very nice collection. But I want one more brinjal recipe that is brinjal pakora fry or brinjal dry fry with kaju, which is served in many functions when I am a child. Similar dish is made with dhondakaya/tindoora/little guard too. I like it very much. Please post that recipe. I don’t know how to cook it.
