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 :)

Palak Paneer

With so many us more caution about diet, it has become more of roti's these days. The main course being chapathi, the next question would be what sabzi? Something new everyday would be our thought. This dish is a common one prepared by most of us. I tried this out from Mariasmenu and turned out to be too good! And so sharing it with all of you.

1. Paneer – 200gm
2. Palak(spinach) – 1 bunch
3. Tomato – 2 medium
4. Ginger – 3/4 inch piece
5. Garlic – 5 to 6 cloves
6. Small onion – 4
7. Green chilli – 2
8. Onion – 1 chopped
9. Chilli powder – 1 tbsp
10. Coriander powder – 1 tbsp
11. Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
12. Garam Masala – 1/2 teaspoon
13. Salt to taste
14. Oil

Presuure cook palak, tomato, ginger, garlic, small onion,  green chilli in 2 cups of water for one whistle. Let it cool. Grind this to make a coarse paste.

Cut the panner into 1 inch cubes. Shallow fry them and keep them aside.

Heat oil in a pan, add the chopped onions.  Saute the onion till it becomes brown. Add the masala powders and stir for 5 minutes. Add palak paste and salt. Mix well. Add paneer cubes. Serve hot with roti.
