Kerala Style Egg Roast

A super spicy, Eggilicious recipe coming straight from my native, The "Keral Style Egg Roast". It has an authentic Kerala touch to it as a generous amount of coconut oil & lots of curry leaves are added in this dish. This dish is very popular in every Kerala household as well as the local restaurants & is a great accompaniment to Vele Appam, Idi Appam, Pathiri, Parotta or any other steamed pancake or Indian bread. As I write this, my mouth has already started watering and am missing Kerala big time. I make this every time, when there are no veggies stocked in the refrigerator. It is so simple, quick & easy to prepare with less ingredients. All you need is some onions, tomatoes, EGGsetra.... :)

Ingredients:
  • 4 eggs (hard boiled)
  • 2-3 medium onions (sliced finely, lengthwise)
  • 3 large tomatoes (finely chopped)
  • 2-3 green chillies (slit lengthwise)
  • 1 tbsp of ginger - garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp meat masala (optional)
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 8-10 curry leaves
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 3 tbsp oil (preferably coconut oil)
  • salt to taste
Method:
  1. Heat oil in a deep based pan or Kadai. Splutter the mustard seeds. Then add the onions & curry leaves & saute for 2 minutes.
  2. Now add the ginger-garlic paste & slit green chillies to it and saute well till the raw smell of the ginger-garlic goes.
  3. Now add the tomatoes to it & mix well. Add salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, pepper powder, coriander powder, meat masala & stir well until tomatoes go mushy.
  4. When the onion-tomato mixture turns into a brown paste, add a cup of water to it. Let the gravy come to a boil.
  5. Meanwhile, cut the boiled eggs into halves. Sprinkle them with little salt & a pinch of red chilli powder.
  6. In a frying pan, pour a tsp of oil and roast the eggs on both sides for a minute on each side.
  7. Put the eggs in the tomato gravy and stir well. Switch off the heat. Drizzle some coconut oil over the gravy & garnish with some curry leaves.

3 Ingredients / 3 Minute Microwave PEDAS

It's Celebration time all the way!! Why? Because My FB fan page has just reached 150 "Likes" & am so thrilled. Also, the festivities will start from August in India. First coming up is "Raksha Bandhan", the festival which celebrates the relationship & bond of a Brother & Sister. So I thought of coming up with an easy to make Indian Sweet Dish, "Peda". A "Peda" is a North Indian Milk Sweet mainly consisting of Khoa (thickened whole milk), sugar & other Indian flavourings like saffron & cardamom seeds. Pedas are usually made during festivities or for offerings made in the temple for deities. This recipe is a simple process of the same "time consuming" Pedas where the Milk is kept on the heat for hours to make khoa & then goes to the next process. This is the first time for me as well & I have taken this recipe from "showmethecurry.com" the cookery website of Hetal & Anuja. And I must say

Hundred Thousand Dollar worth Rava Upma (Indian Semolina Polenta)

Now you must be thinking, who doesn't know to make Rava Upma? What is so special about it? Every 5th person residing in India knows to make it and is a common breakfast item in almost all the Indian household. We Indians take this dish for granted. Well up until a week back, even I thought the same about this dish and looked down on Rava Upma. Not anymore. Last week I read a news about an Indian born, New York Chef Floyd Cardoz who won the top prize of £100,000 in an American show called "Top Chef Masters". No prize for guessing, he made RAVA UPMA!! After reading the article, I immediately decided that the recipe of a basic version of Upma must be on my blog. And here I am sharing the if not a "million dollar", then atleast a "hundred thousand dollar worth Upma Recipe". :) Upma is a popular South Indian Breakfast dish, mainly prepared by Semolina. It has a great resemblance with the Italian Polenta. It can be made with many variations by adding vegeta

Paneer Couscous Salad

Last two weeks were so hectic for me that I didn't find time to even open my blog page. Lots of friends coming home, cooking, eating junk, visiting places, our famous festival "Vishu" came up  & finally I ended up getting sick. I am still in bed but was so frustrated doing nothing that I thought let me post one of my healthy salad recipes which I had promised earlier. I saw this salad recipe in one of the BBC cookery shows & was quiet eager to make it. The original recipe suggests the use of Halloumi instead of Paneer. Halloumi is a type of Greek cheese made of mostly Goat's milk. It has the same texture of that as Paneer, hence I used Paneer. Must say, It was quite filling and delicious, perfect for a Summer afternoon. Ingredients: 200 gm couscous 200 ml hot vegetable stock / hot chicken stock 400 g can chickpeas (drained and rinsed) 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 courgette/zucchini (sliced) 200 gm paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese), cut 1 inch length wise 2 medi
