I have served this egg curry with rice many a weeknight when the last thing I wanted to do was chop up vegetables or grind up a time-consuming masala. It also works great when you are spending some on time making chapatis and want a side dish that’ll pretty much cook up on its own once you set it on the stove on simmer. Also check out Malabar Egg Curry which uses coconut milk. If you love eggs as much as we do, click here for all egg recipes in Edible Garden. This egg biryani recipe is another favourite in my house. Nadan Mutta Curry – Kerala Style Egg Curry Recipe Serves 2 Ingredients: Eggs : 2 Onions : 2 Tomatoes : 2 Green chillies : 3 sliced Chilly powder : 1 teaspoon Jeera powder (jeeraka podi) : 1/2 teaspoon Dhania powder (malli podi) : 3 teaspoons Ginger-garlic paste : 2 teaspoons Oil : 3 tablespoons Mustard seeds : 1/2 teaspoon Curry leaves : one strand Salt : to taste Sugar : one pinch, optional How to Make Egg Curry:

  1. Boil the eggs, shell, slice and keep aside.
  2. Heat oil, put the mustard seeds in to crackle. Saute the onions till they turn golden brown. Adding a little salt to it makes it wilt quicker (tip from my Grandmom).
  3. Add ginger-garlic paste to the golden brown onions and fry for a minute. Then add the masala – chilly powder, jeera, dhania – green chillies, curry leaves, and fry well till the raw smell leaves the paste, which should take a good 3 minutes.
  4. Once the masala is well cooked, add the finely chopped tomatoes and saute till it blends with the curry.
  5. Add one cup water (or more if you like the curry thin) and bring to boil. Add the boiled egg and remove from fire after 2 minutes. Note: I use coconut oil to make this curry sometimes and this gives it a more ‘Kerala’ taste. This egg curry goes well with almost anything – chappathi, parotta, rice, dosa, palappam, idli, puttu, etc. Hope you all enjoy it!
