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.
