Egg curry Masala / Kola poori anda rasa, it is most famous North Indian recipes. Recently, I watched this recipe from the Tv show (Ungal kitchen engal chef). Really, I loved the way the chef prepared, it is easy & simple recipes.
Actually, the chef grind the masala into paste by adding little water, she used fresh coconut, which really gives nice light colour to the recipe, but here instead of paste I have prepared in powder form, this can be stored in air tight container for more than a week in refrigerate, also this masala powder can be used for any other vegetarian or non vegetarian curries. Make a slit or plus shape with sharp knife on both ends of the egg, this helps to absorb the masala in to the egg.
This egg curry masala is perfect side dish with steamed rice, parathas, idly, dosa/ crepes etc.,
The egg can be substitute with cauliflower, broccoli, panner, mushroom, potato or baby potato, bringal / eggplant etc., for vegan version.
Happy Cooking !!
