FOOD : ooSSome Gravies : Stuffed Brinjal

Well, Thanks to a few friends who have pushed me to getting back to my blog and this time, for reasons that would make people goo drooooolll... This is the first recipe for a very famous Maharashtrian dish, I'm not too fond of this, But my partner forgets everything when he indulges himself into this. So,,, this is called the Bharli Vangi, which is a authentic maharashtrian dish.. first of all, like to let u know bout the kind of brinjal that you should pick for this curry.. It would be great if you find the medium green ones, tender, so that there are very few seeds within. Avoid the little purple ones. I would recommend you to retain the little stalk on it, so that your end presentation looks appealing.

Im pretty bad at listing the ingredients first and then giving out the procedure, so let me just start.. this is for 2 people.. so you will need about 6-7 of the eggplant.. I will be sharing 2 ways of doing the same

Step 01. Preparing the Brinjal and the stuffing..

Slit Brinjal into 4.. dont cut it too deep. then you will have 4 different pieces of one :). For the stuffing you will need-2 spoons of finely grated coconut, 3 spoons of coarsely ground peanuts, little coriander powder.. 1 onion finely chopped, 1 green chilli finely chopped, jeera, Coarsely ground masala of Ginger and garlic and Red Chilli(keep this prepared, this can also be tipped into other curries) coriander leaves chopped, red chilli powder, Turmeric.. mix all of this with a little oil jsut enough to bind all of it, and then stuff this into the eggplant and keep aside.

02. in a Kadhai, throw in the oil ( little more of it, if you dont mind!! )
