I love making spicy foods during the winter/rainy season, you may adjust spices based on your taste, you can increase or decrease garam masala powder based on your taste.
During cooking, many people like to fry eggs and then add to the gravy, but I wanted to keep them as they are and made few pokes to Andhra Egg Curry so that it absorbs spices and leaves masala flavor.
Usually, we add onions, tomatoes to get gravy and add spices to give hot and spicy punch to the gravy. Eggs are then pierced to absorb spice gravy and cook on low to medium temperature.
If I am right every house that eats egg and non-vegetarian recipes keeps eggs at their home. When you are out of veggies, Egg Masala Recipe can be made as a special dish.
Every part of the globe has its own kind of making gravy, our version resembles Dhaba style that is the reason it goes well either with rice variant or with bread variants.
In order to get the unique flavor to egg, first, they are fried in a mix of oil and spices and then added to tomato gravy.
TIPS to make perfect Spicy Egg Masala Recipe:
- Add little salt while boiling eggs so that they boil without breaking.
- If you like crispy egg crust then fry till its surface turn golden brown and crispy.
- When eggs are pierced they tend to absorb spices and give good taste even to eggs.
- If you do not have all spices then you can skip some of them and add garam masala powder.
- Slice tomatoes into small pieces to cook fast and give yummy gravy.
- We can even make a paste of onions, cinnamon stick and cloves to get gravy.
