Cracked Wheat Vangibath | Godhi Rave Vangibath Recipe

Cracked wheat vangi bath is a delicious recipe made with veggies and special masala powder. Simple, healthy dish which can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.

Vangi bath is a popular dish from the State of Karnataka, where a special blend of masla powder is used to make the vangi bath. Generally it is made with egg plant (brinjal), but today i am using frozen mixed veggies and bell peppers.

I have replaced rice with cracked wheat. You can also use brown rice, quinoa or millets in this recipe.
