Ingredients :
8 Indian Eggplants
2 Green chillies
2 Red chillies
1/2 cup Peanuts
1 tbsp Sesame seeds
1 tbsp Urad dal
1 tbsp Split Chenna dal
1 tsp Coriander powder
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
Curry leaves
Mustard seeds
2 garlic pods
1/2 tsp Chilli powder
Turmaric
1 tsp Tamarind paste
Salt
Oil
Procedure :
Split open the eggplants into 4 just like you cut them open for Gutti vankai curry
In a pan roast peanuts, sesame seeds, cumin, urad dal, chenna dal, and red chillies.
Set aside until they cool down and grind them up into fine powder or thick paste.
Add red chilli powder, turmaric, salt, tamarind paste, and coriander powder and mix them all together.
Now stuff the split eggplants with the above paste and set aside.
Heat some oil in the pan and add some mustard and cumin seeds.
When they splutter, add curry leaves and garlic pods.
Fry them up a little and then add the stuffed eggplants one by one.
Cover and cook on low for some time until the eggplants are soft.
Later remove the lid and cook on low till they are completely done.
To try the curry version of the above dish, just add some H2O.. haha
Garnish as u like and serve with hot steamy rice...
