    Gutti vankaya kura recipe with quick video, step by step photos. Brinjals stuffed with spice powder, cooked in peanut tamarind based gravy.

    I have not tasted gutti vankaya kura before. Being a brinjal fan, I was too tempted to try this recipe when it was forwarded by my BIL from his friend Smitha. She already have shared wonderful recipes like Bread halwa. So I rely her recipes and also my BIL only suggests best recipes, double okay to try blindly.

    This particular Andhra style gravy uses tamarind as base and the spice powder has peanuts for flavour. I once have tried from a cookbook and failed big time as I did not roast the peanuts properly. But it was very earlier in my kitchen, I had not much exposure in cooking. Now I could guess why I hated the peanut based gravy.

    The version she have shared is the most simplest recipe of gutti vankaya kura, no onion no garlic version. I have seen many variations in this through out the internet, with coconut, sesame seeds, ginger garlic paste, masala. But this is the version I learnt and let it be my take on Gutti vankaya kura.

    Notes

    • I used roasted peanuts.
    • Use the dark purple white striped brinjal best for this as it holds the shape without getting mashed.
    • While choosing brinjal, choose small ones with the green part almost ΒΌth of the brinjal.
    • Check the inside of every brinjal after slitting into 4 for insects.
