Vangibath Powder | ವಾಂಗಿಬಾತ ಪುಡಿ

Vangibath powder also called palyadha pudi (curry powder) is a traditional spice mix powder used to prepare vangibath rice recipe which is a popular breakfast recipe in south Indian especially Karnataka. In terms of texture and aroma, it is very much similar to puliyogare recipe. 

However, both have a subtle difference in taste and proportions of spices. Furthermore, vangibath masala can be used for stir fry, curries, and kharabath as well. 

They add more flavors for any typical stir fry or curry recipes since the masala has a rich aroma and it is a little spicier than puliyogare masala.

You can buy a ready mix of vangibath powder from any supermarket or groceries. But I always prefer fresh homemade vangibath powder which you can prepare in large quantities and store in an airtight container.

Preparing homemade vangibath powder is very easy.
