Egg Rice

Recipe for street style egg rice recipe made with Indian masala. South Indian rottu kadai style egg rice recipe.

Egg rice is a very popular street style food that’s loaded with Indian masalas and finished with a little soy sauce for flavour. The green chillies are ground to a paste and are the main source of spiciness in this street style egg rice. This dish not taste anything like the Chinese fried rice. It has an Indian masala paste that’s made from scratch and added to the rice. This egg rice is a perfect dish for parties etc… This can be easily doubled. This simple egg rice recipe is perfect for lunch box. There are veggies in the form of cabbage, eggs for proteins and rice for the carb load. No need for any side dish.

This recipe uses soy sauce and naturally brewed soy sauce is preferred for taste and flavour for the recipe.
I have used basmati rice for making the egg rice. While basmati rice works well in the recipe, raw rice varieties like sona masuri will work equally well. Cook the rice with a little salt so the rice is seasoned thoroughly.

Try to keep two eggs per person while making the egg rice. More the merrier. I like to scramble the eggs first and add to the rice later on. Some people add the eggs to the cooked rice and cook on the pan. You can make it the way you like it.
