Vankaya Gasagasala Kura Recipe with step by step pictures. This is a delicious andhra brinjal poppy seed curry which can be served with roti, rice.
Vankaya Gasagasala Kura Recipe
A different curry from the usual brinjal curry which i make. This curry comes from Andhra and as you all know Andhra is famous for its spicy curries, this is one among them. You can add this curry to jain style dish too, since it has no onions and no garlic.
This curry has a base of poppy seeds for it thickness and creaminess. I loved the taste of sweet, spicy and sour all in one. Loved it. This pairs beautifully well with rice or hot rotis. Glad u will try this and let me know how it turns out for you.
