Now add the brinjals with the tamarind extract and simmer for about 10 minutes till the eggplant is tender and water is absorbed. Once done add the cooked rice and spice powder, mix well and remove from flame. Add some Ghee and mix in the rice without mashing it. Garnish the Brinjal Rice with fried cashew nuts and finely chopped coriander leaves. Serve Vangi Bhath or Brinjal Masala Rice hot with papad and raita.
