PREPARATION METHOD:
Wash the whole eggplants thoroughly and wipe the water with tissues. Slit them vertically with knife without cutting it to halve. Slit in the opposite direction again to make a plus sign. Make sure you don’t cut the vegetable deep such that it breaks into two halves. Carefully put some curry powder into the brinjal.you can see the below picture for getting clear idea
Take a wide pan and heat 4 tbsp of oil in it.Drop in the brinjal carefully and roast them on low flame with a covered lid. Make sure not to burn them by checking and turning them in between.cook them till they are tender and little firm yet. They should not turn mashy but the shape should remain intact. This will take a nice 15 min of time
For making tamarind juice,soak a lemon sized tamarind ball in warm water for 10 minutes and squeeze out the juice discarding the pulp.You can add 2 cups of water to it for making the pulusu. Pour the juice over the roasted eggplants and adjust salt.Add the sesame powder, curry powder and stir well without disturbing the brinjals too much else they will break.After 5 min,add grated jAggery and cook the gravy under low flame for 20 min or until it thickens.
Sprinkle coriander leaves. Heat a tbsp. of oil and crackle mustard seeds, add hinge, red chillies and curry leaves. Pour this hot tempering over the tangy pulusu..
Enjoy hot tangy and spicy Vankaya Pulusu with hot rice!!
MY NOTES
- Curry powder is a must to get the perfect taste for this pulusu.
- Don’t stir the gravy continuously which can break the eggplants.
- Use sugar if you don’t have jaggery.
- For Sesame powder ,just dry roast white sesame seeds in a pan for few min and then grind into fine powder.If it is already included in the curry powder,please increase the curry powder quantity for the same recipe.
- If you are on the spicy side,add a tbsp of red chilli powder along with the curry powder but i liked it tangy.
Enjoy the Andhra famous Vankaya Sivangi Pulusu with hot rice or rotis!!
