It is primarily migratory, spending the winter in Africa and southern India after breeding in the western Palearctic. This species of quail is more often heard than seen, thanks to its distinctive call of three

Ingredients for Quail Egg Roast Recipe :
Quail eggs:
Quail eggs are quickly gaining popularity in the kitchen as a tiny and adorable alternative to chicken eggs. They taste remarkably similar to chicken eggs but are only one-third the size of a standard chicken egg. They have cream-colored shells with brown splotches and yolks that are deep yellow.
Cinnamon :
It is primarily used as a culinary ingredient. The bark oil is used in the commercial production of baked goods and confectionery, whereas cinnamon-based oleoresin is used in the production of cake mixes and convenience foods.
Garam Masala Powder:
The whole spices in the Garam Masala blend have already been toasted before being ground. As a result, it is not necessary to cook it. If the garam masala is added too soon, it will become overcooked and lose its flavour. Garam masala aromatics require only a small amount of heat to release their aroma and flavours.

I called hubby for the answer, he told that it is kaada muttai(quail eggs). In addition to that he told that he has tasted it in a restaurant and it was not that good, But I don't know how you will make it..I wanted to take that, but wondered how it will taste like.
But later confidentally tooked a pack and reached home..That night I made a simple egg fry using this, I treated it like normal eggs…The result was awesome and hubby loved it a lot..He told that we should buy couple more packets on our next shopping.
The taste was pretty much like normal eggs, but tasted so good..I loved the way it looked like tiny morsels which I think is so cute..I am damn sure that kids will love these…Hope you will give these a try and tell me how it turned out..
