Chettinad Egg Curry / Eggs Cooked in a Spicy Roasted Masala Gravy

I love eggs in any form. They are one of the versatile ingredients to have around because you can whip up anything during any time of the day. I make curries with it often to go along with roti or appam or whatever..The curries made with eggs pair great with these. You can check out my curry making history here and all the egg recipes posted in yummy tummy here.

This recipe is quite different from the normal curry, because it has a very intense spicy flavour to it from the freshly ground masala. I served this spicy curry with roti and i had some leftover the next day which i served with aapam. I should admit that the curry tasted way better the next day when reheated, the flavours got meld together beautifully. I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you.

Now make the masala.Heat 1 tsp oil in a kadai. Add in the whole spices and roast them for 3 mins on low heat till they are toasted and roasted. Take them in a blender and add some water to it. Make into a smooth paste.

Now heat some more oil in a kadai. Add in mustard seeds, turmeric powder and curry leaves.

Now add in the onions and green chilli along with some salt. Saute this for 2 mins till they are translucent. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 more mins, so the onions turns soft and cooked.

Now add in the masala paste along with ginger garlic paste and saute this till the oil separates on top.

Now add in the tomato puree and cook them for 5 more mins till they are cooked.

    I made it today! It was hard to tell if the onion had already turned translucent, because it was all yellow from the turmeric, heh. I don't often roast and grind my own masala (too lazy), but now I did, and the dish is absolutely worth all the effort. My husband not only polished his bowl clean – he offered to scrub my bowl too, because he thought the curry was so good. Thanks for posting!

    Thanks for this great blog. Our family regularly cooks from your recipes.

    One suggestion. Try using steel pots/pans. The non-stick coating ultimately goes in your families stomach and over the long term is very harmful.
