Egg roast recipe, how to make egg roast with step by step pictures.

Egg roast is a very simple but spicy side dish and a popular Kerala dish. Kerala Mutta Roast is Kerala's own quick Egg Roast, a simple yet spicy side dish with onions, tomatoes and Indian spices, and very restaurant style.
Egg roast is a favorite breakfast side dish and usually paired with appam, puttu or even roti. It is so easy to make that all you need is just under 20 min to get it done and a perfect side dish when guests surprise you with a visit.

If you are a regular here, you know that I should be renamed as the "Spice Woman" I love spicy food and so does my family.....so I added green chilly along with Kashmiri chilly powder, but if you do not favor much spice, you can reduce the green chilli or you can add it without cutting or slitting, so that the heat does not release out, but the flavor does.........and this one is a treat for Homey during Lent. He love to have it with appam for breakfast.

 I add a bit of "saunf" or "perumjeerakam" to the coconut oil, and that does take it to another level....very restaurant style mutta roast!!

So lets get started!!

Serves: 2-3.

Once the onions started to brown slightly, it should take about 7 -10 min on low flame, add in 1 1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilly powder (if using ordinary chilly powder, then 1 tsp would be fine). Add in 2 tsp coriander powder.

Half tsp pepper power and 1/4 tsp turmeric powder.

Lastly, half tsp garam masala powder

Mix all the powders, so that the raw flavor diminishes......remember the fire is on low. Add in the 2 chopped tomatoes, mix well. Add in 1/3 cup of water, so that the tomatoes are incorporated and blended well. Keep mixing on and off for about 5 min on low flame.

The tomatoes are almost cooked and blended well. I like to add in some curry leaves for added flavor....and I like to saute a bit more (about 2 min more)

Until the onions and tomatoes are nicely roasted. Add in the eggs, give it a stir....so that the masala is nicely coated on the eggs.

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy. Amma mentioned that if using coriander seeds then; the water used to mix the rice flour should be sieved and that using fresh roasted coriander powder saves time. I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help
