Masala Egg Fry - Malabar Style Egg Masala Fry - Kerala Recipes

egg masala fry

Masala egg fry or egg masala fry, is a quick and easy starter or appetiser from Malabar. Usually, whole boiled eggs are roasted in coconut oil and masalas and most "chayakada" (tea shop) or "thattukada" (street food stall) does proudly display masala egg fry.

I have asked around my neighbours and friends for the authentic recipe of Malabar mutta masala fry and like all other food each family has a different style. Some like to use only red chilli powder and some use a little bit of coriander and garam masala powders. But towards the North side people use sauf and red chilli powder as the main ingredient and if you add too much coriander powder it will over power the other spices....atleast that was the advice I got.

I have been making this for some time and came up to a recipe which has more of red chilly powder and a fat pinch of the other spices but I must admit the saunf and the coconut oil is the main flavour maker. I also like to slice the eggs into half than using whole uncut boiled egg; the idea is to allow the masala to get into the eggs, but if you like to make it traditionally then make some slits in the eggs and simply proceed with the recipe.

What I like about this quick and easy egg fry is that; it hardly takes 2 minutes to make (if you have boiled eggs at hand) and it looks really yum and presentable. This goes well with roti/chappati, appam, puttu, rice etc.

Also, if you have some unexpected guests you can make this in a jiffy and I am sure this simple masala egg fry will grab all the attention.

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.
