Masala Paste
We will make a masala paste for the Boiled Egg Pepper Fry.
Grind all the ingredients for the masala paste with a couple of tablespoon of water. Grind to a smooth paste. Set aside.
Roast the Eggs
Heat oil in a pan and add in the masala paste and the salt.
Cut the boiled eggs into two and add it to the pan. Add in curry leaves. Keep the flame on low and slowly roast the eggs along with the masala.
Turn the eggs once in a while so the eggs are evenly roasted all over. I use a couple of forks to turn the eggs as they are fragile and may break easily. I avoid using a spatula to turn the eggs.
The eggs are ready when the masala is dry and the eggs are coated brown and roasted. It would take about 12-15 minutes for the eggs to be completely roasted and the masalas to be dry.
Boiled Egg Pepper Fry – Dry Pepper Fry recipe is ready.

Hello Kannamma,
My son doesn’t like the smell and taste of yolk. Is there a substitute or any stuffing I can use instead of yolk ?
Wow, Its really awesome! Looks spicy.
it is. Its the pepper heat!
As usual this is another cracking recipe from Kannamma. Absolutely loved it… To this exact recipe i added one green chilly for my Andhra friends. It was relished by all. Thank you for sharing!
