Kerala Mutta Roast

Kerala Mutta Roast

Kerala Mutta Roast- a simple dish made with simple ingredients but the product is nothing short of mind-blowing. Nihal has been talking about his childhood food experiences (in Kerala) and it reached a point that we had to do this for him. I planned to put up the recipe last week but was caught up with day-to-day chores. It was only after Thouseef pinged me on fb messenger that I decided to not delay it anymore. So, here you go guys!!

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
• 1 stalk curry leaves
• 2 big onions (julienne)
• 3-4 ripe tomatoes
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
• 3/4 – 1 tsp Everest Chicken Masala
• Salt to taste
• Sprinkle of sugar

Preparation

• Boil the eggs… need to be hard boiled. Once they are boiled, unshell and set them aside.
• Poke the eggs with a fork because this will help them adsorb the masala
• In a vessel, heat some oil; once hot, add the mustard seeds.
• When they start to splutter, add the curry leaves and saute.
• Add the onion julienne and sprinkle a little salt- this way the onions caramelise and does not burn.
• Once the onions are caramelised, add the ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw aroma disappears.
• Now add the tomatoes, the spices and let this cook (in low flame) till the oil separates.
• Sprinkle a little bit sugar and saute.
• Add the salt and saute.
• Add 1/4th cup of water and then add the eggs and cook for a bit- more like how you see in the above picture.
• There you go.. Kerala Mutta Roast is ready!!
