Instant Pot Vangi Bhath/Eggplant Pulao: Easy Healthy Eggplant Recipes

Hello Foodies,

Vangi Masala Bhath/Eggplant Pulao is a lingering dish that incorporates most of the trademark flavors of Indian cuisine. Every Pulao dish I have prepared in the Instant Pot was excellent, the pulao is full of aromas, and boasting balanced flavors. This Vangi Bhath is a top-ranked menu item for many functions and weddings in Maharashtra. This Vangi Bhath is our favorite meal. I make it often, and it comes out delicious every time.






Playing with greens and pairing them with a variety of spices or masalas is the key to creating diverse taste and flavors. Recently McDreamy and I was craving for aromatic Shadi Wala vangi bath and so to satiate our longings I have prepared this vangi masala bath or eggplant pulao in instant pot. In Marathi weddings or any Marathi functions, vangi holds the top spot among all the vegetables.
