Vegetables to use in Masale Bhath
You can add your favorite vegetables to masala bhat. I have seen people add a combination of potatoes, peas, eggplant, tomatoes, beans, carrots, tindora (ivy gourds), cauliflower, etc. I personally enjoy masala bhat with potatoes and eggplant. I love making a fresh batch of Goda masala as needed as it needs a few spices that I already have on hand. Here are the spices I use to make Goda Masala: Although traditionally small purple baby eggplants are added, you can add any type of eggplant. Simply, chop them into cubes. This weekend as I was getting ready to shoot the video, I found a basket of gorgeous assorted baby eggplants in the local farmer’s market that I couldn’t resist buying.
