Egg Curry/Nadan Mutta Curry




Egg Curry/Nadan Mutta Curry

 A classical Kerala breakfast of appam/idiyappam and mutta curry/egg curry is irresistible and filling too. I love this egg curry,it is simple and a perfect accompaniment with rice and chapathi too. The creamy gravy of this curry comes from a generous use of thick coconut milk. This curry can be made mildly spicy,if you do not like a spicy dish for breakfast.

Eggs- 5 hard boiled
Onions thinly sliced-3 medium
Tomatoes-2
Ginger garlic paste- 2 tsp
Curry leaves - a few
Thick coconut milk- 1 cup
Thin coconut milk- 1 1/2 cup
Fennel powder- 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/3 tsp
Chilly powder- 3/4 to 1 tsp
Pepper powder- 1/8 tsp
Coriander powder- 1 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon stick - 2 peices
Clove- 3



Boil egg for three minutes and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add cinnamon sticks and clove and saute till fragrant. Add curry leaves and ginger garlic paste and saute till the raw flavor disappears. Add onions and fry till golden brown,followed with tomatoes. Let the tomatoes get soft and add all the spice powders and saute in low flame for a minute. Add the thin coconut milk,cover and simmering in medium for three to four minutes, till the onion and tomatoes are soft and mushy and the gravy starts thickening. Add the egg and the thick coconut milk and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. You can also add 1/2 tsp garam masala at this stage. Serve with appam or idiyappam/string hoppers.

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. This recipe is from the worn-out pages of an old cookbook. I obviously cannot comment about the authenticity of this recipe. The word authentic is confusing.  But I guarantee it tastes everything you want from an exotic curry- spicy, tangy, delicious, and rich with the fragrance of coconut mi...

Vazhuthananga Thakkali Curry/Baby Brinjal/Eggplant Tomato Curry

Vazhuthananga Thakkali Curry/Baby Brinjal Tomato Curry Eggplant tomato curry is a quick and delicious curry packed with flavors. It goes well with rice/chapatis. I used baby brinjal/eggplant for this recipe which, is first pan-fried and added to a tangy pepper flavored tomato gravy. The fried eggplant gets simmered in a tangy, and flavorful tomato coconut gravy. The coconut is slightly roasted, to enhance the flavor. Fried eggplant has this melting texture, and combined with the creamy, tangy, gravy, it tastes divine! There is a right balance of heat and flavor, and the coconut adds a touch of sweetness and makes it flavorful.  Brinjal/eggplant  is eaten throughout India usually, curried, fried, or grilled. Each region has its recipes with regional flavors. You can also add potatoes and peas to this curry. It is a versatile and satisfying side dish that you will surely enjoy. This curry is absolute comfort homey food, best served with steamed rice.     I...
