Bharli Vangi(Stuffed Brinjal)

This maharashtrian delicacy bharli Vangi was introduced to me by my neighbour.

We had it and were left licking fingers. It was so different in taste than what we are used to and it remained with me all this time. Its over a year now and just though to google the recipe. I did read a lot of recipes and then eyeballed the ingredients and the result was awesome.

Nutty taste from the peanuts and sesame and flavors from the freshly grinded masala are out of the world. A must try for baingan lovers.

This masala paste of coconut and sesame can be also used to cook chicken dish to make a dry gravy.

500gm baby brinjals
1/4 cup peanuts
2 tsp sesame seeds
3/4 cup dessicated coconut
4-5 cloves of garlic

1 large tomato chopped
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
