Vankaya Masala Curry

There is a telugu move "Egire pavurama"  if I remember. It has this song on brinjals and ts greatness. In short the "wow" feeling of "Gutti vanakaya curry " .You can see it here . This is most sought vegetable when we call someone home for lunch/dinner :-) . It itself is a specialty . This actually requires lot of oil. But i tried minimizing the oil and was finally successful in making it using 1/2 tablespoon. The trick was I used microwave to roast /partially cook half cut brinjals  and I used pressure pan to fully cook curry . The taste was fantastic . Here is the recipe.
