Egg Roast

Egg Roast is a dish Native to Kerala. There, they call it Nadan Mutta Roast. Keralite loves to consume this mainly with appam but this recipe goes well with steamed rice as well. I love to make egg roast as a side dish, when I'm short of good options. In the authentic recipe, eggs are hard boiled and roasted in masala gravy. However in my version of egg roast, I love to pan roast the hard boiled eggs before adding into the masala gravy. And honestly, this twist made my dish more tasty and appetizing. So, if you want some authentic taste, with little twist, then try this aromatic dish with "Flavors of Sneha's Kitchen".
