Egg Curry - Muttai Mas

Muttai Mas is how my mom calls this dish, short form of Muttai masala. :)

This is a plain egg curry dish, which tastes yummy with any fried rice or chapathi.

So, here it goes.. All you need is,

1. Egg - 4
2. Onion - 2
3. Tomato - 2 big sized
4. Turmeric powder
5. Chilli powder / Sambar powder - 1&1/2 tbsp
6. water - 1/2 cup
7. Salt to taste
8. curry leaves - 5
9. coriander leaves
11. Mustard
12. Urad dhal
13. Oil - 2tbsp

Boil the eggs and shell them out.

Heat oil in a pan, add the mustard and urad dhal. Once they splitter add onions and cook them till they turn brown, add tomatoes. When the tomatoes are completely cooked, add turmeric, chilli powder, salt and water. Let it boil. Simmer and cook for 5 mins.

Cut the eggs into 4 and add them to this mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, so that the yolk slighlty gets dissolved with the gravy. It adds on to the taste.

Serve hot with chapathi's or rice.

Sure all would like it :)
