What goes with the Kerala duck egg roast? In Kerala, egg curries are often made for breakfast, and relished with soft spongy appam. It tastes best with Vella appam. Appam is soft, and spongy laced rice and coconut crepes are popular breakfast. Idiyappam/string hoppers are steamed rice noodles, and they taste delicious with egg curry. Flat bread-like chapathi, parotta (layered flatbread), or, orutti/pathiri (flatbread made with rice flour) all taste delicious with Kerala duck egg roast.

Kerala duck egg roast is delicious, aromatic with a distinctive flavor and taste.  If you like the spicy kick of black pepper, reduce the amount of chilly powder. If duck eggs are not available, you can use regular eggs, quail eggs, or chicken pieces for a different twist. Give this recipe a try, you will surely love it. Happy cooking!
