About the recipe

Stir-frying the boiled eggs in simple tempering and seasoning with simple dry spices is egg fry.

Here, I have first boiled the eggs, stir-fried them. In a separate pan, I made a pepper masala by sauteing the sliced onions, adding herbs and green chillies, adding dry spices mainly black pepper powder and made a fry masala.

Add these fried eggs into the masala to cook for a minute or two on both sides.

This is a simple south indian style of roasting boiled eggs.

This dish goes best with roti or rice and is a yummy egg dish with just a few spices and eggs stir-fried in some oil.

         I tried my hands at this dish in south indian style by adding some mustard seeds and curry leaves and it turned out awesome in flavour. Also, another egg recipe is egg masala stir fried boiled eggs cut into halves and placed on a plate, a quick gravy curry made using fried boiled eggs in onion tomato gravy.

Boiling the eggs

• Firstly, boil the eggs, cool them down and peel them. Cut the boiled eggs into two halves then take a pan, add oil and heat it.

• Stir fry each side well and make sure to fry both sides well.

• Flip it and stir fry the other side too.

• Take the boiled fried eggs out and rest aside to use it in the onion base later.

Stir-frying the eggs

Use the same pan and same oil and using the same oil releases the flavour of the fried eggs into the pepper masala.

• add sliced onions. The onions can be cut in any shape and size and if possible they can be cut very finely as well. They form a good gravy base for the eggs.

• Saute by stirring and then add vertically slit green chilies and curry leaves into it. Chillies may pop up if not slit in the middle. Curry leaves add flavour and aroma to the simple egg fry.

• Saute until they turn soft.

• Now add dry spices such as salt as per taste, red chili powder and mix.

Eggs can be fried in many ways and I would love to update them with different kinds of preparation and also roasting/frying them in various ways.

Different regions make egg in different way and therefore I would like to post the best egg recipes to try by my blog readers.

Use Fried eggs in making biryani recipes just by frying them in a normal way using simple spices and add to make biryani recipes instantly such as egg biryani or anda biryani in a pressure cooker on the blog using stir-fried boiled eggs.

This is a very common style of roasting or frying boiled eggs in andhra style or south indian style. We prefer to add in some tempering ingredients to stir fry certain recipes be it egg or vegetables and it really gives an aromatic feeling.

Here, I have not added a tomato but to make it even more masaledar and with slight variation, a chopped tomato can be added and roasted along with onions.
