Eggs. For few years I had the perfect love hate relationship with eggs. Being born into a vegetarian family, eggs were introduced to us kids very late. Mainly for health benefits. Indeed we took it as a medicine, nothing more. In fact I remember those days years ago, when my mom would cut a boiled egg into 4 equal pieces, sit next to us with a jug of water. Yes, we literally chewed & swallowed each piece of egg with a glass of water. Hah! 😀
From that kid who was totally not into eggs to this adult who loves eggs – what a transformation I have had. While I enjoyed an occasional omelet or a scrambled egg – it was quite a task to still eat hard boiled eggs. And then the wedding happened, life changed. I was introduced to a whole new level of egg recipes. This blog is a proof for how far I have come with hard boiled eggs. Check out the egg recipes here.
Today’s recipe is a super simple egg fry – a South Indian style egg roast if you will. Thanks to my mother-in-law, who introduced me to this most awesome masala egg fry recipe that can be put together in less than 5 mins. It works the best as a side dish for hot rice, rasam/sambar or just as it is. For anyone who feel that a hardboiled egg is too bland for their taste, this recipe is a must try!

Recipe Notes
To perfectly hard boil the eggs, time them and boil only for 12 mins exactly. Making cuts on the eggs helps get the masala inside the egg. If you don’t have sambar powder – use ¾ teaspoon of red chilli powder for ½ teaspoon of coriander powder and ¼ teaspoon of cumin powder. Adjust spices as per preference. Additionally onions can be added. Once the onions are fried, add the masala powders and continue to remaining process.
