Gutti Vankaya kura | stuffed brinjal | Andhra style stuffed brinjal is a tasty side prepared with brinjal and freshly ground spice. Andhra-style stuffed brinjal tasted yum with rice.
I love the masala powder my Amma prepares for Vaangi Bath. I always wanted to cook brinjal with that powder as a stuffing. Have added additional ingredients, and prepared a new version of masala for stuffing. Loved this way of stuffed brinjal 🙂 If you get small brinjals, both stuffed brinjal and Ennai Kathirikai Kuzhambu are great dishes to try.
