| Maharastrian Stuffed Brinjal / Bharli Khari Vangi |
This recipe of stuffed brinjals is entirely different from
the stuffed brinjals Punjabi style recipe. There are no onions, no ginger
garlic and no other Punjabi masalas. It just includes a coarse paste of peanuts
and coconut as the main ingredients along with some fresh coriander leaves,
cumin seeds and other spices.
Have a look at the video uploaded below for better
understanding of the recipe.
I like the masala dry so I hadn’t added water in it. But you
can make its gravy by adding water as per your taste when we add the remaining
paste to the brinjals while cooking.
Other tips you would find after the method section. If you

little gravy. I like it dry so haven’t added water.
