Anda Masala-Egg Masala

Indians take eggs very seriously. In fact egg is one of the most versatile ingredient that exists in Indian food cuisine.A whole gamut of preparations exists in Indian cuisine, starting from egg pakora in starters,egg paratha, Egg Omelette in breakfast or snacks, Egg Biryani in rice preparation, Egg Curry  and even traditional Parsi dessert like Eeda Paak”.

The recipe that I am sharing today is my family’s favorite and one of the recipes that I prepare too often for them. I am sharing “Anda Masala”, a form of thick Indian egg gravy. I add eggs, in the gravy after shallow frying them which gives them an extra crunch and makes this gravy different from egg drop or other egg gravies!! Let’ go through the recipe in detail now.

Peel off the shells from Hard Boiled Eggs. Wipe off excess moisture on peeled eggs with a paper napkin (See Tip Section). Pierce eggs with a tooth pick.

We will start with making a masala paste. Heat a pan and add Dry roast grated Coconut. Roast until Coconut becomes brown in color. Coconut becomes brown in 3-4 mins on medium heat (Continuous stirring). Remove from heat

Wipe clean the pan and now add 1-2 tbsp Cooking Oil. Allow oil to become hot. As Oil becomes hot, put Ginger and Garlic. Fry until Garlic becomes light brown

Now add Sliced Onions (Only half quantity) and Fry until Onions becomes brown. Onions become brown in 8 mins. Now add Coriander leaves (Reserve some coriander leaves for later use). Finally put the roasted coconut and mix well.

Switch off the heat and allow roasted masala to cool before grinding. Transfer the roasted ingredients to a grinder jar and add some water and grind into fine and thick paste. We have used 1/4th Cup water for grinding and other 1/4th Cup to clean the grinder jar.

  15. Anda Masala is ready. We are relishing this today with Jeera rice. You can even serve it with Roti/Parathas.
  16. Tip of the Day:
  17. ) Wiping off excess moisture will save you from Oil splattering
  18. ) Oil must be moderately hot. If Oil is too hot, eggs may splatter as soon as you put it in Oil. If temperature is too low, eggs may not get fried properly
  19. ) Fry lightly only on two sides of eggs. Frying for more time can make the texture rubbery and unpalatable
