    For the third and final day of cooking Healthy Family dinners, I have a Mixed Brinjal rice, made very quickly with just your easily available pantry spices. I know you must be thinking why a Brinjal rice, when I already have so many versions of it.

    That must be enough to try in a while, yet I find that my parents get brinjals without fail whenever they shop. While Hubby dear isn't either fond or not towards this vegetable, I end up making it once a week.
    So, having a quick and simple rice dish is your answer for a quick dinner. While the other versions of vangi bath calls for the typical Vangi Bath masala, today's recipe is as simple as you can get.
    While on the topic of easy and quick dinners, I had an entertaining talk with my uncle. He got transferred to a new place where he has to cook for himself. So I was very interested to know what he cooks and he said I will be shocked hearing his ideas.
    Shocked was right, however I was taken in by the whole idea as well. I was chopping Indian Broadbeans and he shared how he cooks it. He follows a basic step for all his dinners. Saute the tempering ingredients, followed by the vegetable, spices and garam masala, if using. Then soaked rice, followed by water and salt. Pressure cook everything together.
    While I can imagine this for a mixed vegetable to make a pulao, I was finding it hard to imagine with cluster beans of Indian Broadbeans. He says the same formula is applied to all vegetables and shared few more tips for bachelor cooking. I know my mind was making leaps and bounds on how to improvise on the theme. I am sure you will get to read about it, when I actually make it myself!
    Now, for the final Mixed rice, you have Brinjal rice!
    Vangi Bath | Mixed Brinjal Rice

    Brinjal - 250 gms

    Curry leaves
    Oil - 2 -3 tsp
    Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
    Channa dal - 1/4 tsp
    Cashews - 5 -6
    Red chili powder - 1 tsp
    Coriander powder - 1 tsp
    Curds - 2 tbsp
    Turmeric powder a pinch
    salt to taste
    coriander leaves
    How to make the Vangi Bath
    Have cooked Rice ready at hand.
    Heat a kadai with cooking oil, temper with curry leaves, mustard seeds, chana dal, cashews and saute well.

      so your uncle is following the OPOS method I believe! Good for him. My husband would rather go hungry than cook a decent meal :D. The rice looks good, I use up brinjal in many ways, but rice is not a tested way. Should give it a try though!
