As south indian sambar is popular, south indian egg curry too is quite popular down south.

This egg curry is made by giving tempering and then adding ingredients like chopped onions and coconut paste and making a wonderful south indian egg curry that is perfect with rice or chapathi or paratha.

It tastes well if fried boiled eggs are added to the egg curry and the recipe can be made for the whole family.

Other popular curries which I suggest to be tried with rice are:

• brinjal curry
• cauliflower curry
• aloo mutter recipe
• palak aloo curry
• aloo methi
• pudina chutney

          The ingredients that go into making the curry are basic one’s such as chopped onions and tomatoes but as tempering is usually preferred in south indian style curries, this recipe is made in such method.

The egg curry tastes awesome with hot rice and eggs if boiled and fried and added they taste amazing. This recipe is perfect for winters as I have also added pepper powder in the curry and while frying eggs.

This south indian style egg curry does not have tamarind extract and it requires few main ingredients like coconut paste or coconut milk. This recipe I am sure would be loved by my readers as it tastes really good.

 Egg curries can be made in several ways and in south india different people make egg curries in different way and I would be glad to share many more ways to make south indian egg curries as I update.

The spices that are added are basic and no garam masala is added and made purely by giving popu(tadka) and adding all the masala.
