Brinjal fry in iron kadai, Vankaya vepudu recipe

Iron kadai Brinjal fry/ Vankaya vepudu is a spicy, flavorful and very quick to make stir fry that can be prepared with handful ingredients in no time and served along with any dal variety/just rice/ roti.

I regretted not trying this recipe for a very long time as this brinjal fry went so well with tomato pappu for lunch. I am glad that I tried it and happy to share it in my blog and this has been my go to recipe whenever I make dal. I have earlier posted few interesting recipes with brinjal/ eggplant like these: 

• Eggplant tawa roast/ fry
• Air fryer baingan bharta
• Baingan ka salan
• Eggplant bajji
• Brinjal sambar
• White Brinjal kura
• Brinjal thokku for biryani
• Brinjal rice
• Brinjal pulikachal
• Gutti vankaya
  

This is a very easy recipe and requires no pre preparation and the key point in making this fry is the brinjal needs to be cooked in oil without adding water. And that can be easily done in IRON KADAI. Yes less oil, but excellent texture will be attained in no time. Yes this is a new series in the blog just like claypot series. This recipe can be prepared with or without onion and final touches can be made with some crushed peanuts for nutty taste and for that typical Andhra flavors, which I have skipped as I am not big fan of peanuts but at home they make it with peanuts only. Trust me it will so yummy in both the methods..

Coming to the iron kadai (pre seasoned) I got it shipped from ZISHTA where you could find variety of traditional utensils and you love cooking food in that just like me.. So let’s get to the brinjal fry/ Vankaya vepudu!!
Before that would you like to look at the recipes I prepared in claypot?? Here they are:
