Notes
How long can we store vangi bath powder?
I personally prefer making fresh vangi bath powder. However, you can make it in large amount and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for a good solid month. It will depend on the kind of coconut you have used in the recipe. If you are using fresh coconut, it might not stay fresh for that long but if you have used dry desiccated coconut then the shelf life will be longer.What is the difference between Maharatsrian style and Karnataka style Vangi Bath?It is more or less similar spices are used in both of the vangi bath. In Maharashtrian style, Goda masala, sesame seeds, and onions are used to make the vangi bath masala.
Can we make the vangi bath ahead and store it?
Yes, you can make it ahead and store it in the refrigerator. It will stay good for two days. reheat again before consuming the vangi bath again.
