imageGutti Vankaya Kura(dry)/Stuffed Brinjal Curry
Gutti vankaya is favourite for all of us with so many variations. We can serve brinjal curry with steamed rice or rotis. Here in this recipe I have prepared brinjal curry with minimum ingredients. This is very simple but so delicious. If curry powder is there at home it takes jus 15-20 minutes to prepare this curry. Here I present yummilicious Gutti Vankaya Curry which can be served with hot steamed rice along with sambar or poriyal. Njoy Cooking, Serving n Savoring!

Tip:
I have prepared the brinjal curry using readily available home made curry powder.If you want to try variation u can use onions,tomatoes and favourite spices and adjust the quantities  according to your taste buds. If using onions n tomatoes first shallow fry them.once they become cool make them into puree an stuff the puree into brinjals. Remaining procedure is the same.
