Ingredients for Vankaya Poornam Recipe
Baby brinjals 10-12
Tamarind pulp 2 tablespoons
For stuffing
Cumin seeds 1 teaspoon
Coriander seeds 1 tablespoon
White sesame seeds 1 1/2 tablespoons
Dried red chillies 2-3
Poppy seeds (khuskhus/posto) 1 tablespoon
Garlic crushed 2-3 cloves
Onion chopped 1 medium
Desiccated coconut 2 tablespoons
Oil 3 tablespoons
Curry leaves 6-8
Salt to taste
Method
Step 1
To make the stuffing, heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan. Add cumin, coriander and sesame seeds along with red chillies and sauté for 1 minute.
Step 2
Add poppy seeds, garlic, onion and sauté till lightly browned. Meanwhile remove the stalk of the brinjals and make 2 slits in the shape of a cross mark, stopping just about halfway through.
Step 3
Take the pan off the heat and add the desiccated coconut and mix. Put the pan back on heat and sauté for 1 minute. Switch off the heat, add tamarind pulp, curry leaves and salt and mix well.
Step 4
Let it cool slightly, then grind with a little water to a smooth paste. Stuff this mixture into the slits of the brinjals. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan and rotate the pan so that the oil coats the entire pan.
Step 5
Place the stuffed brinjals in the pan and cook on high heat for a minute so that the brinjal skin gets crisp.
Step 6
Add a little water, cover and cook till the brinjals are completely cooked. Serve hot.
