Spicy Egg Masala | Muttai Masala | Egg Recipes

Akila — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 11:50:00 +0000

Spicy Egg Masala / Muttai Masala is a great side dish for a nor roti or chappathi or even Rice. Actually, I am not a big fan of egg and even, do not cook egg dishes so often in our family. But my hubby is a great fan of egg. At least for him, I cook egg once a while, when I get mood… poor hubby.

This recipe “Egg Masala” is from my college friend’s mother who is a great cook. She used to boil the eggs, chop them in to small cubes and mix with the masala and gives to us when we go to their house. oohhh tastes really awesome. But my hubby loves the whole boiled egg and so, I changed her version a bit. Soon will post her version too without any change.

This Spicy Egg Masala is a spicy version. If you want less spicy, you can reduce the spiciness. ( See notes ). This goes as a good side dish for any kind of dishes. There is also a version, with addition of coconut milk, which I will post later.

If you like egg recipes, then do check my other egg recipes below. Also you can check the list of Non-veg recipes collection.
