Eggplant rasavaangi tastes tangy and goes very well with hot steaming rice topped with ghee and served with papads or spicy potato roast..Usually rasavaangi is prepared with tamarind juice and i want to change the usual way of making out rasavangi and tried out few teaspoons of lemon juice, i didnt find much difference between the usual rasavaangi and this lemon juice added rasavaangi, i personally felt adding lemon juice makes out the curry as tangier as when rasavaangi prepared with tamarind juice..Apart from the lemon juice i prepared everything as similar as the usual rasavaangi..A real feast of tangy dish lovers, i love this eggplant rasavaangi much which we used to prepare with a spice powder with channadal,coriander seeds,peppercorns, redchillies & grated coconut..Am sending this eggplant rasavaangi to MLLA-19th Helping guest hosted by EC,event by Susan..
