This is very simple and easy recipe for bharli vangi. It is also one of my favorite dish from childhood. My mother makes it especially for me. Post marriage whenever i go to visit her she makes it to make me happy on day one itself. Bharli vangi and batatyacha rassa are two my favorite recipe in veg. I’m big fan of her non veg recipe as well.
She sent me kanda lasun chatni along with one Paithani in last month. This is first recipe which I made with new chatni and obviously it became delicious…. Thanks aai.
This recipe is quick and easy as well as spicy. It is typical Maharashtrian recipe. I am Satarkar, so one can say that this recipe from Satara or west Maharashtra.
