Gutti Vankayi (Stuffed Eggplant )




Gutti vankayi is a signature Andhra dish! Regarded as one of the most popular south Indian dishes. It has a lot of versions depending on the regions. This is how it is made at my place..
Ingredients:
Brinjal - 8
Onions - 1
Groundnuts - 50 gms
Ginger - small piece
Daniya powder - 2 teaspoon
Cloves - 5
Red chillies - 5
Coriander - 4 stem
Salt

How I made this:
1. In a pan, add little oil and add chopped onions, ginger, daniya powder, groundnuts cloves, red chillies, salt and fry them.
2. Now switch off the stove and let it cool.
3. Add the above to a blender and make it into paste.
4. Cut or rather slit Brinjal, vertically and horizontally and stuff the above paste.
5. Take a wok, add oil and fry the stuffed brinjal for about 10mins.
6.Now, simmer the heat and cover the pan with a lid for couple of mins, this lets it cook inside out.
7.Remove the lid, and saute until its completely cooked
8.After it is completely cooked, sprinkle chopped coriander and serve hot!

Serve with: Roti or rice.
