Egg Curry/Nadan Mutta Curry




Egg Curry/Nadan Mutta Curry

 A classical Kerala breakfast of appam/idiyappam and mutta curry/egg curry is irresistible and filling too. I love this egg curry,it is simple and a perfect accompaniment with rice and chapathi too. The creamy gravy of this curry comes from a generous use of thick coconut milk. This curry can be made mildly spicy,if you do not like a spicy dish for breakfast.

Ingredients
Eggs- 5 hard boiled
Onions thinly sliced-3 medium
Tomatoes-2
Ginger garlic paste- 2 tsp
Curry leaves - a few
Thick coconut milk- 1 cup
Thin coconut milk- 1 1/2 cup
Fennel powder- 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/3 tsp
Chilly powder- 3/4 to 1 tsp
Pepper powder- 1/8 tsp
Coriander powder- 1 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon stick - 2 peices
Clove- 3



Boil egg for three minutes and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add cinnamon sticks and clove and saute till fragrant. Add curry leaves and ginger garlic paste and saute till the raw flavor disappears. Add onions and fry till golden brown,followed with tomatoes. Let the tomatoes get soft and add all the spice powders and saute in low flame for a minute. Add the thin coconut milk,cover and simmering in medium for three to four minutes, till the onion and tomatoes are soft and mushy and the gravy starts thickening. Add the egg and the thick coconut milk and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. You can also add 1/2 tsp garam masala at this stage. Serve with appam or idiyappam/string hoppers.

Try this,
Hope you will all enjoy!

Palpayasam

Paal payasam/Palpayasam Happy Onam to all my friends and readers! Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Onam!!! Onam is finally here and no celebration is complete without a sweet dessert. I am sure no Malayali can think of a sadhya without a payasam. Pal payasam is definitely a star,my all time favorite :) This is a rich delicious payasam where the rice is cooked in milk till it attains a creamy texture. The milk gets reduced and the flavor and taste is very much  like palkova. It has very little ingredients, but it is time consuming and  needs a little patience to prepare this dessert. Here I have used basmathi rice but it is best if we use payasam ari (rice) or rose matta rice.Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Basmathi Rice- 2 hand full ( or rose matta rice) Milk- 5 cup Sugar- 1/2 cup Cardamon crushed-4-5 Cashew nut- 8-10 Wash and soak rice for one hour. In a heavy bottom pan pour milk and bring it to a bo...

Malabar Chicken Curry

Malabar Chicken Curry Today's chicken curry is a Malabari delicacy. It is always a crowd-pleaser, and besides, there is nothing like an easy to make, heartwarming curry, relished with steamed rice. The chicken curry is creamy and delicious with coconut milk and smoothly ground masala paste as its base. It is a lusciously creamy chicken curry with a tropical flair. For exotic eating, experience, try pairing this curry with neypathal, pathiri, or ghee rice. Sounds exciting, huh? Then check the recipe, it is super simple to make. This chicken curry is one of our family favorites. Spicy chicken gravy is one curry that I never get bored eating. But once in a while, love to try variations. This recipe is from the worn-out pages of an old cookbook. I obviously cannot comment about the authenticity of this recipe. The word authentic is confusing.  But I guarantee it tastes everything you want from an exotic curry- spicy, tangy, delicious, and rich with the fragrance of coconut mi...
