bharli vangi made in pressure cooker | Maharashtrian bharli vangi | stuffed brinjals | with 25 amazing pictures

Bharleli Vaangi is an all-time favourite Maharashtrian bhaji that tastes great. It is a semi-dry sabzi that is very popular in Maharashtra and quite easy to make. Maharashtrian bharli vangi is made on day to day basis in Maharashtrian household.

Bharli vangi is made by cooking small brinjals stuffed with a masala of coconut, onions, peanuts and spices. The brinjals are stuffed with a freshly-ground masala, made of peanuts, coconut, tamarind, jaggery and spices, and cooked for a while with a little more masala and a traditional tempering.

The masala not only gives the bharli vangi its characteristic taste but also imparts an awesome mouth-feel. It is one of those magical recipes that has withstood the test of time, and remains popular across generations thanks to its tongue-tickling taste and ease of preparation.

As the brinjals soften, the masala mingles with it to give a thoroughly tasty treat with shades of spiciness, tanginess and a touch of sweetness too. Some people also use goda masala or malvani masala in this recipe, and you can also do so if you wish. Make sure you select small brinjals so that they will cook uniformly up to the core in bharli vangi made in pressure cooker. Larger ones might remain hard in the middle.

Also, we suggest soaking the brinjals in salted water for a while before proceeding with the recipe, as described, to reduce the cooking time.

This variant of Bharli Vangi is cooked in a pressure cooker, which makes it easier and quicker to make. Serve bharli vangi made in pressure cooker with rice or rotis.

Tried this recipe, tasted yummy and was easy to make. The only thing i would change the next time I try, would be to reduce the chilli powder to 2 tsp.
