Spicy Egg Masala

Sometimes its becomes difficult for me to think what to cook with egg as egg being such an versatile and tastes very good however way its being cooked and goes fabulous with almost anything. At last I settled with this spicy egg masala which is easy to cook and the best. Each time I prepare I try to use different seasoning and all the time the taste is always wonderful. This recipe is very good side dish for any bland rice but I like it for biryani and its tastes even great for roti or chapati.

Egg – 5
Onion – 1 finely chopped
Tomato – 2 medium size finely chopped
Green Chiles – 2 finely chopped
Clove – 2

Fennel seeds – ½ tsp
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
Coriander Powder – 1 tsp
Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
Chili Powder – ½ tsp
Pepper Powder – ½ tsp
Cilantro to garnish
Oil – 3 tsp
Salt to taste

Method

In a pan, heat oil and add the fennel seed, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. When its aromatic add the onion and sauté until it turns brown.
Add the ginger garlic paste and mix and add the tomato and cook until the tomato turns mushy and if needed sprinkle water in between.

Egg N Mushroom Curry

This is a fabulous side dish. Though the combination sounds weird but it does work, the taste was excellent. Actually I tried this combination for fun as me and my hubby loves mushroom a lot and I had some few mushrooms left after making the mushroom stuffed omelette and used it for this dish and surprisingly this dish was delicious. This dish is so easy and quick to cook and can be served as a side dish for chapathi, or any flavored rice.


Ingredients
Boiled Egg - 4
Mushroom Chopped - 1 cup
Bell Pepper - 1 sliced
Ginger Garlic Paste - 1tsp
Onion - 1 chopped
Tomato - 2
Coriander Powder - 2 tsp
Chili Powder - 1tsp
Cumin Powder - 1tsp
Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 2tsp
Salt to taste

Method
Heat oil in a non-stick pan and fry onions until brown.
Add ginger and garlic paste and stir well. Add tomato and cook for few mins.
Add all the spices and a splash of water to avoid burning of the spices. Cook for few mins.
Add pepper and mushroom and cook in low flame, stir in between.
Slice the eggs to 4 pieces each.
When mushroom and pepper starts cooking add the eggs and cook in low flame, keep turning the eggs to coat well with the gravy. Garnish with cilantro. 
Enjoy this dish chapathi or even plain rice.

Stuffed Omelette

A simple healthy omelette stuffed with vegetables. Adding mushroom to this tastes really wonderful and you can even add meat to this and make it more yummy. We first tasted this at Denny's restaurant and then we became a regular eater.
During weekends we prefer eating this for breakfast than other south Indian food. My hubby loves to prepares this omlette and I get a chance to just stay away from kitchen for a while. This is the recipe of what he did.




Ingredients
Egg - 2
Milk - 2 tsp
For Stuffing
Mushroom Chopped - 1/4 cup
Bell Pepper Chopped - 1/4 cup
Onion Chopped - 1/4 cup
Pepper and salt to taste
Any shredded Cheese
Oil - 1 tsp

Method
Heat oil in a skillet and  saute onion for few mins and add mushroom and bell pepper and add some fresh grinded pepper and salt and cook till its done and make it as dry as possible and set aside. Heat a little oil or use a non-stick spray in the egg pan, beat the egg with milk and little pepper and salt, pour the eggs to the centre of the heated pan, tilting the pan so that the eggs spread out evenly on the pan. When its done on one side, carefully flip to the other side and cook. Flip again and place the vegetables to one half side and top it with cheese and fold over with the other side and hold it till the cheese melts. Enjoy!!

This is an absolute delight and simple dish to prepare. This is an great dish it goes with anything you name it like rice, parota, appam and even as a side dish for briyani. I made this dish for kerala parota and it was a great treat. I opted to prepare this dish as I was lazy and this sure was a easy and quick.

Cilantro
Oil - 3 tsp

Procedure:
Boil the egg and peel , make sure you peel it when it is still hot otherwise it would be hard to peel. Make 2 to 3 shallow slits on the egg so the egg can absorb the masala and set aside.

Add tomato and green chilies and cook till the tomato is well done. Now add all the masala powders one by one and fry well by sprinkling little water.
