Mangalorean Egg Curry

Regular followers of Sailu’s Kitchen will know our family’s love for eggs in all its avatars. I am always on the lookout for the best dishes with egg especially curry based recipes that go well with dosa, appam, neer dosa and rice. There is never any dearth for authentic Indian regional egg recipes and I tend to go for curries that have unique spice blends. Mangalorean egg curry is a coconut based curry that calls for a unique blend of spices like mustard seeds, cumin, coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, red chillis and tamarind. For a deeper coconut flavor, one can add coconut milk instead of water while cooking the curry. A classic egg curry among Mangalore food recipes that makes for a perfect dish with steamed rice, dosa or chapati.

The slit boiled eggs absorbed the flavors of the spices and made for a brilliant combination with Neer dosa. If you are lover of egg curry, do give it a try and am sure you will add Mangalorean egg curry recipe to your recipe repertoire. 🙂
