VangiBath
When it come to boxed lunch always some kind of rice dishes are very popular. Among those Vangi bath/ eggplant/brinjal rice is very popular rice dish. Even the powder is named after this vangibaath, though we use it to make varieties of rice dish using the same vangibath powder. Green eggplants gives a distinct flavor to the baath, we rarely get that variety here, so I am using the purple one.
Menthya Hittu | MethKoot
Menthya hittu is a multipurpose, protein rich powder. My amma used to make it and used this mentya hittu in many dishes.

Amma told me that she used it in 4 different dishes, each with its own different ruchi, or taste. Here is the recipe to one super powder :)
