To prepare the stuffing for Maharashtrian stuffed brinjals, in a deep bowl take 1 cup of finely chopped onions. Each region in Maharashtra has a slightly different way of making Bharli Vangi. Some make use of roasted onions and coconut instead of using them raw. If you dislike that textured mouthfeel or are in a haste, then you can prepare a thick paste by blending all the ingredients required to prepare the stuffing of bharleli vangi.

- Cover with a lid and cook on a medium flame while stirring occasionally or until Brinjals are completely cooked. After 10 minutes, uncover and check if brinjals are cooked. Also, check if there is some water. If it looks too dry, they might burn, so add a little water if required but the consistency of this dish is slightly thicker so, do not add a lot of water. Since they were not as tender as required, we cooked them for another 4-5 minutes and now our bharleli vangi is ready.
