Gutti Vankaya Ulli Karam / Onion Stuffed Brinjal Curry

by Jiya Jesh · Updated on July 15, 2022 Curries/ Gravies| South Indian Recipes

Gutti Vankaya ulli karam is a delicious stuffed eggplant recipe. This Andhra style dish has baby brinjals stuffed with a spicy onion mixture.

I was able to get hold of some small tender purple brinjals. The first dish that came to my mind when I had to cook them was to make a stuffed brinjal curry.

There are so many variations to stuffed brinjals. I have already posted a recipe of eggplants stuffed with a spice mix. This onion stuffed version has become my favorite as it is easy to make and tastes awesome with both rice and rotis.

A combination of onions with spices and tamarind come together as the stuffing for the brinjals. This mix of sweet, tangy and spicy makes it a wonderful complement to the tender small brinjals.

As for nutrition brinjal is a low-calorie vegetable and is a good source of dietary fiber. Next time you get some baby brinjals do try this easy gutti vankaya ulli karam recipe.
