Masala Egg Fry


Spicy masala egg fry is a quick and easy lunch box fix. It will also come handy especially if you have sudden unexpected guest at home. This can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish for rice. All you need to do is take hard boiled eggs coat them with marinade and lightly shallow fry. My mom used to make this for my lunch box along with tomato chutney and coconut rice or jeera rice and was my favorite combo.

Ingredients
1)Hard boiled eggs-4
Chilly powder- 3/4 tsp( as per taste)
( or pepper powder- 1/2 tsp)
Turmeric powder- 1/3 tsp
Ginger garlic paste- 1/2 tsp
Corn starch- 3/4 tsp
salt to taste

2)Onion- 1 medium
Ginger- 1 inch thick
Garlic - 3 pods
Garam masala- 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves- a few
Spring onions or coriander leaves- a little
lemon juice- a few drops(optional)
oil for frying
Salt to taste



 Cut hard boiled eggs into two. Make a paste of all those ingredients listed under one and apply on the eggs. Heat frying pan and pour one tsp of oil and layer the eggs and fry on both sides. In the same oil saute curry leaves,ginger and garlic for a minute followed by onions. Fry this till onions are golden brown. Add garam masala,lemon juice and spring onions/coriander leaves and fry for a minute. Carefully place the fried eggs and gently mix in every thing together. Serve this with jeera rice, pulao or simply with rice and sambar.

Try this ...
Hope you will all enjoy...

Malabar Chicken Curry

Malabar Chicken Curry Today's chicken curry is a Malabari delicacy. It is always a crowd-pleaser, and besides, there is nothing like an easy to make, heartwarming curry, relished with steamed rice. The chicken curry is creamy and delicious with coconut milk and smoothly ground masala paste as its base. It is a lusciously creamy chicken curry with a tropical flair. For exotic eating, experience, try pairing this curry with neypathal, pathiri, or ghee rice. Sounds exciting, huh? Then check the recipe, it is super simple to make. This chicken curry is one of our family favorites. Spicy chicken gravy is one curry that I never get bored eating. But once in a while, love to try variations.

Paneer Bhurji

Paneer Bhurji  Paneer Bhurji is easy to make, flavorful  and delicious side dish for rotis/chapatis. Paneer(Indian style cottage cheese) is now becoming part of my regular grocery list. Back in Kerala we never tried cooking with paneer. My parents love spicy food and so mom never experimented cooking mild gravy dishes with paneer.The only place you get a chance to try paneer dishes is at restaurants. Now I am buying paneer regularly and hunting new recipes to try.  Paneer burji is the easiest of all and perfect for beginners.It is made with scrambled paneer, tomatoes and flavorful spices. Healthy and protein packed this is also  the  easiest stuffing for chapati wraps. I tried this for my kids lunch box and it was a success. Ingredients Crumbled Paneer- 2 cup Onion- 1 medium Tomato- 1 medium Green chilly chopped-2 Ginger garlic paste- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp Chilly powder- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds- 1/4 tsp Garam Masala- 1/4 tsp Cha...
