The 100g pouch is widely available and offers a consistent, high-quality flavor profile at a competitive price.

Key Quality Highlights

• Aromatic Spice Base: Unlike generic powders, GRB uses a specific blend of Cinnamon, Cloves, and Marathi Moggu (Kapok Buds), which gives the dish its characteristic woody and floral scent.

• Nutty Texture: The powder contains a significant amount of roasted Urad Dal and Bengal Gram, which helps thicken the “gojju” (spice paste) and provides a nutty undertone.

• No Artificial Fillers: It is known for its purity, containing no added artificial colors or preservatives.

• Balanced Heat: It provides a medium spice level that pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of roasted brinjals.

Preparation Tips for “Hotel Style” Vangi Bhath

1. The Brinjal Factor: Use the small, green-striped variety or long purple brinjals. Sauté them in oil until they are soft but still hold their shape.

2. The “Gojju” Base: Mix 2–3 tablespoons of GRB Vangi Bhath Powder with a small amount of tamarind pulp and a tiny piece of jaggery. This creates a balanced sweet-sour-spicy base.

3. The Rice: Use Sona Masuri rice cooked to a point where the grains are separate. Never use mushy rice for Vangi Bhath.

4. The GRB Touch: Since GRB is famous for its ghee, finish the dish by drizzling one teaspoon of hot ghee over the rice before the final mix.
