Notes

1. As mentioned already the eggs can be made slit and added to the Masala. Here it is not made as I feel the eggs might break because I’ll be roasting the eggs for more time. So if you want you can make the slits on the eggs but while mixing them with the Masala mix them very gently and carefully.

2. Adding sugar is totally optional but enhances the taste of this spicy Masala egg roast.

3. Adding kashmiri chili powder is also beautifully optional but it gives a nice color to this decision. If you’re not adding kashmiri chili powder then you can stop with the 1.5 tablespoon of chili powder itself.

4. Also if you’re giving this dish to small kids then you can reduce the amount of pepper which I added here.

5. Do not grind the ingredients like ginger and garlic black pepper cumin seeds and fennel seeds nicely. It should be crushed using mortar and pestle. Also try to use fresh ginger and garlic. If you do not have the fresh ginger garlic then you can add ginger-garlic paste.

6. While Boiling eggs add a teaspoon of salt in the water so that the eggs do not break while boiling.
