Bharli vangi or stuffed eggplant is a traditional Maharashtrian dish and it is top ranked menu item for many functions and weddings in Maharashtra. This recipe has a gujju variation too. There is minor change in the ingredients.
I really enjoy maharashtrian cuisine. I tasted this authentic vangi recipe first at restaurant in pune known as “durvankur”. there are lot places in pune where you can obviously get the maharashtrian food. but Durvankur and sukanta is my personal favorite places to have authentic maharashtrian thali.
coming to the recipe, I used very simple ingredients you can easily get anywhere.Peanuts and white sesame are the main ingredients of the gravy and you should not avoid these two.
If you any suggestion then please share it in below comments.

Hi you have not mentioned where to add garlic in the method .please if you can tell will be good.
Hi Gauri, Thanks a lot for notifying us. You have to add garlic along with onions and chillies and other ingredients to make a paste. Apology for the inconvenience.
