He writes in his book that he found this recipe for  Kerala egg roast at a restaurant that his driver took him, en-route to Thekkady. Egg roast is a popular dish in Kerala. Nobody quite knows why it’s called an egg roast because they are actually boiled, peeled, then simmered in a pan with an intense masala flavored with Kashmiri chillies, tomato and coconut oil.
