Muttai Kalakki, Egg Kalakki

egg-kalakki-recipe

“Kalakki” in Tamil means “to mix”. Kalakki is a famous street side food from Coimbatore. But nowadays Kalakki has become a very sought after dish in many restaurants all over Tamilnadu. Its a soft scrambled egg with a little masala added. The first time I had Kalakki years back was at a small restaurant with my cousin Shruti, my partner in crime. “Akka, you have to have this. You will love it.” Shruti told the moment we were at the restaurant. She did not order one as she is not a great soft scrambled egg fan. I really loved it. Here is the recipe for muttai kalakki.

We will need about 2 tablespoon of kurma / gravy for making kalakki. You can use chicken gravy, mutton gravy or even mushroom masala. Anything that you feel fancy for.

Break an egg and add in the gravy and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Set aside.

Heat a skillet till hot. The pan has to super hot for making kalakki. Add in a teaspoon of oil and pour the egg mixture onto the pan. Move quickly and gather the egg mixture to the middle as if you are trying to make a small pocket. Let it sit there for 5-10 seconds. The outer part of the egg will be cooked while the inside is still soft and velvety.

    I’m a Sri Lankan Tamil Foodie and passionate homecook. Before I only was interested in reading recipes but as I grown older I love reading about a dishes orgin and explanation. I didn’t know what Kalaki was apart from it looks like an omelet. Thanks for giving the explanation if what it is. I will definitely come back to your page for reference. Thanks alot!

    Back again…. tried this one today with chicken gravy (again one of urs) …… just loved it…. so simple and some thing I always wanted to taste with eggs….. probably I cooked it a little extra…. eggs are grt and u….. are grt grt….

    And I cooked Ambur mutton briyani yesterday for a couple of boys (relatives from home town) who will be starting their IIT days…… I guess they loved it and I even had a chance to mention abt the blog….

    I cant stop thinking about this Ambur mutton briyani….. I feel like I can live eating only this….. for now though….. else I would miss so many of ur other gifts…..

    Cheers…..

    Thanks again for the smile in my face and the smile in my tummy……..

    And by the by my wife had started teasing me if I am not cooking in the week ends…. she says where has ur Kannamma gone……..

    Although it tasted good, I wasn’t able to make a perfect pocket. It kept tearing apart. It would be very helpful if you can post a video
