Recipe for Spicy Kerala Style Naadan Egg Roast masala with gravy preparation. Serve with appam, rice or chapati. Kerala hotel mutta curry with tomato. Adapted from Rick Stein.

A quick egg curry is a staple at my home. Serve it with rice or roti and its sure a happy meal. Kerala egg roast is a very popular dish that’s usually served with appam. I found this recipe for Kerala egg roast in Rick Stein’s India cookbook. Its one of the finest books on Practical Indian Cooking. 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. Here is the recipe for an awesome Kerala Style Spicy Naadan Egg Roast.

Boil and peel the eggs and set aside. Here is the recipe for perfect hard boiled eggs.

      The masalas might burn if added in oil before tomatoes. Yes Nivitha, Cut the eggs after cooking.
