    Quail Egg Roast

    This is a simplest egg dish. I normally use regular eggs in this, but this time i decided to use quail eggs and it was delicious. It has a base of simple onions and tomatoes and can be made in few mins. It can be made in a jiffy and taste great with either rice or roti. So good.

    About this Recipe

    The common quail, also known as the European quail, is a small ground-nesting game bird in the Phasianidae family of pheasants. 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
    repeated chirps.

    Many parts of the world, including Asia, Europe, and North America, consider quail eggs to be a delicacy. They are sometimes used raw or cooked as tamago in sushi and are frequently found in bento lunches in Japanese cuisine. Quail eggs are considered less exotic in some other countries.

    Kwek-kwek is a popular street food delicacy in the Philippines, consisting of soft-boiled quail eggs dipped in orange batter before being skewered and deep-fried.
    The Quail Egg Roast is a spicy dish that can be served as an appetiser or as a side dish with rice, roti, or appam.

    I love how those cute little eggs look in this dish, my little one loves quail eggs so i usually buy it every week. Quail eggs are really good for you, it has lots of health properties in them.

    What is the difference between chicken and quail eggs?

    Although quail eggs are smaller than chicken eggs, they contain more fat, protein, iron, riboflavin, and vitamin B12 by weight. However, they are more expensive and difficult to find than chicken eggs.

    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. 

     
    Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

    We were roaming around our favorite supermarket, Suddenly I stopped in front of a small fridge kept on the way..There I found these small packets..I was wondering what it is, since it was the first time I ever saw this.. 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..
