Cuisine:

Generally, for the stuffing of the brinjals we use, peanuts, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, coconut powder and some natural powder spices. The filling is supposed to be thick, so do not add water to it. Some people tend to use tamarind pulp as well, but it is your choice, I use lemon instead of the tamarind pulp. Moving on, for Gutti Vankaya Kura, you might want to save some extra stuffing for later, once it is used to stuff brinjals, we use it then in the curry as well. It changes everything at one go, so keep this in mind. Again, everyone has there unique way of cooking this dish, so here I am sharing my version of Gutti Vankaya Kura.

Steps

1 Done	Let's begin with the Gutti Vankaya Kura Recipe - First of all, we need to make the stuffing and also cut the brinjal pieces in four cuts but keeping it intact.
2 Done	Now, for the stuffing, we need to take a pan and heat it on a medium flame. Add peanuts to it and toss for a minute. Later on, add sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, coconut powder and stir again for a minute or two. Do not burn it, keep sauteeing.
3 Done	Now, take out in a blending jar and add lemon juice, salt, turmeric, red chili powder. Add 2-3 tbsp of water only, just enough to blend it into a smooth paste.
4 Done	Once, it is done take it out in a dish and start stuffing it into brinjals and keep them aside. Make sure to use some extra stuffing for the curry as well. Now, take a kadai and heat 2-3 tbsp of edible oil in it. Now, some people tend to fry these stuffed brinjals; I just use them as it is, in the curry, but you can fry them if you want.
5 Done	Now, once the oil is hot enough, add chopped onions and fry them till light brown. Later on, add ginger-garlic paste and green chilies in the kadai and saute it for a while.
6 Done	Now, add the saved stuffing in the masala and mix everything well. Add a little water and brinjals to the masala and cover it. Cook it for about 5 minutes and then open the lid again. Mix it again, and now you will see that the gravy starts to thicken up.
7 Done	If brinjals are not cooked yet well, add little more water and cover it up. Cook for another 10 minutes and open the lid. Add garam masala and chopped coriander on top. Turn off the heat and your Gutti Vankaya Kura or Stuffed brinjal curry is ready to be served.
8 Done	You can serve it with some hot steamed rice like the south Indian style or Akki Roti. You can also serve it with healthy wheat dough Rotis. Hyderabadis love to eat stuffed brinjal curry with biryani as well.
