Eggplant flavored with Peanuts (Vankaya-Palli Koora)


Ingredients:

  • 3 cups chopped Eggplant/Brinjal
  • ½ cup Peanuts (raw or roasted)
  • 1 tsp red Chili Powder (or more if you desire)
  • ½ tsp Cumin Seeds
  • A pinch of Turmeric
  • 2 tsp Oil
  • Salt

Preparation:

  1. If using raw peanuts, roast them without oil. Keep aside to cool. No need to remove the skin.
  2. Then grind peanuts + chili powder into a fine powder. Keep aside.
  3. Heat oil in a non-stick pan and add cumin seeds + curry leaves and sauté. Then add chopped eggplant pieces and sauté well.
  4. Add a pinch of turmeric, cover and leave the pan on medium-low flame until the eggplant becomes soft and cooked. Keep stirring now and then.
  5. When the eggplants are cooked, add peanut powder and mix well. Turn the flame to a low setting.
  6. Keep the curry on low flame for some time without covering the pan. Add salt as required and sauté well for 2-3 minutes and switch off the flame.
  7. Transfer the curry to a serving bowl and enjoy the yummy curry with rice or chapathis.

to cook eggplant is it not require to add water? or it is supposed to cook in its own juice?

@shaikh:

You don't need to add extra water to cook eggplant as it makes the curry so mushy. Eggplants already contain some water in them, and it is enough to cook them. Hope this helps.
