Kerala Style Egg Roast/ Mutta Roast

Ingredients:

Hard-boiled egg – 4

Onion sliced – 3 or 4

Tomato sliced – 2

Ginger chopped – a small piece

Garlic chopped – a small piece

Green chilies – 4 slits

Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp.

Kashmiri red chili powder – 1 tsp.

Coriander powder – 1 tbsp.(optional)

Garam Masala – ½ tsp.

Curry leaves – a sprig

Salt to taste

Oil as required

Preparation:

Remove the shells of the hard boiled eggs and cut each egg into 2 halves. Heat oil in a pan/wok and add the chopped ginger and garlic. Saute it for a minute and then add sliced onion, curry leaves and green chilies into it. Saute till the onion becomes brown in colour. This will take about 6-8 mins.

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder and coriander powder and stir well. Add the sliced tomatoes and salt and cover it for 5 mins. The oil starts appearing at this stage. Add ¼ cup water if you need a thick gravy. If you want it completely dry, don’t add water.  

Add the boiled egg halves and cook for 2 minutes. If you need more gravy add ½ cup coconut milk. This will add a coconut flavor to the curry.

Suggested Combination: Appam, Idiyappam, Puttu or Chapati
