The tempering too is given with few ingredients and this is an egg curry that can be cooked in a very little time and does not take too many ingredients and yet tastes amazing.

This egg pulusu in andhra style is quite a popular dish in andhra region and best when we make it during cold winter evenings or sundays or during rains and eat along with some fries or paapad.
Eggs if fried and added to this pulusu give a very interesting taste to the whole dish and I usually fry and add eggs rather than the boiled eggs.
The tempering too that is added is very minimum with just some mustard seeds and curry leaves that go into this pulusu.
