Egg Masala / Tamilnadu Style Spicy Muttai Masala.

Easy and quick recipe for South Indian Spicy Egg masala / Egg Roast. Makes for an excellent side dish. With step by step pictures.

Food is memories. I never forget good food that I had somewhere. I had this egg masala at my friend Jenela’s place decades back when I was in school. She was my school mate. Life moved on but the memory of this egg masala stuck on to me forever. I still remember her mother serving seconds and thirds to everyone at that farewell party. She just stood next to us and made sure that everyone was stuffed. In India, food is love. “In the childhood memories of every good cook , there’s a large kitchen, a warm stove, a simmering pot and a mom.”   This recipe is one of Jenis mom, Bagya auntie’s masterpiece. This egg masala needs to be there in everyone’s repertoire.  Its simple, its easy and its finger licking good. Below is a pic of Bagya auntie and her husband. Those hands cook magic.

Now lets dive into the recipe.
Boil five eggs, peel and halve them and set aside. Here is the recipe for perfect hard boiled eggs.

Heat a pan with 4 tablespoons of oil. Be generous with the oil. Its very important to add enough oil to get the ingredients nice and roasted. Once the oil is hot, add in the mustard seeds and 4 sprigs curry leaves. Let it pop.

    Made this today reducing the ingredients to one part (for just 2 eggs). The spice levels were not adequate it came out tangy, am I missing something here?
