A spectacular, flavor-packed Andhra specialty where tender, small brinjals (eggplants) are slit and stuffed with a rich, roasted peanut-and-sesame spice paste, then slow-cooked to melt-in-your-mouth perfection alongside fragrant, short-grain chitti mutyalu or basmati rice. Ingredients: Small purple brinjals, rice, roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, dry coconut, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, dried red chilies, onions, ginger-garlic paste, tamarind pulp (for a signature tang), curry leaves, and oil or ghee.
