Preparation:
Slit the brinjal into quarters. Add some groundnut oil to the powder (made after roasting all the ingredients) and stuff it in the brinjal.
Take a wide bottomed vessel and pour oil.
Place all the brinjals inside separately and ensure they do not touch each other. When the outer skin of the brinjals turns brown in colour, add water and cover with a lid.
Remove lid after four minutes and overturn and cook for another four minutes.
After the brinjals turn soft, sprinkle the remaining powder.
Now the Telugu (vankaya means brinjal) dish is ready to be served hot.
