ANDHRA SPECIAL VANKAYA GRAVY

Today's recipe is almost 100 years old, But i learnt it from my andhra friend tallam anu. She used to give some ideas to prepare some andhra dishes. It's a typical rustic Andhra dish, made with basic ingredients available at home but yet tastes great with plain rice! This was reserved for the cookbook but I thought it makes a great recipe for the blog too!


INGREDIENTS I USED: 

Egg palnt - 5 small in size 
Garlic - 3pods 
Cloves - 2 or 3 
Cinnamon - 1" stick 
Dry Red Chillies - 4 
Dry Coconut  - grated 1 tbsp 
Corinader seeds - 1 tsp 
Moong dal - 1/2 tsp 
Jeera - 1 tsp 
Salt - to taste 
Oil  
Ghee


METHOD:

Fry the Brinjal in ghee or in oil and keep it aside.before fry that  Split each vankay  vertically in to four parts ( but not completely ) and put them in salt water.Microwave it for 1 minute. Cut the onion and chilli into very minced pieces. Fry the coriander seeds,moong dal,red chilli, and grated coconut and then grind it like a paste. In a medium size pan heat 2 table spoons oil. Add above prepared paste and fry for 2 minutes to that fry the onion and chilli also with jeera,clove and cinnamon stick. Then add the Fried vankaya into that garvy. Keep it in flame for 2 minutes. Garnish with coriander leaves.
