Eggs in spicy Chettinad Masala Boiled eggs cooked in a spicy Chettinad masala is all that we would know about now. On a lighter note, did you all anytime try to think which came first – Egg or Hen? Oh! Yeah it’s still a ???? Leaving that apart, most of us eat eggs cooked in a variety of ways. Eggs are considered the powerhouse of nutrition packed with proteins, vitamins and minerals.

Eggs in Chettinad masala is one of the awesome dishes prepared in Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu. Boiled eggs are slightly fried and later added into spicy saucy gravy made with shallot paste, tomato puree, little browned coconut powder and the popular Chettinad masala. Chettinad masala is the vital ingredient that enhances the taste and flavours of this dish. It is quite very spicy and made with a variety of spices. Another important ingredient that is widely used in the Chettinad cuisine is the Shallots.

They are slightly small in size and have a sweet edge that is wonderful. When tossed in little oil, their flavour intensifies and gives a punch to the dish. Dishes from Chettinad cuisine are considered to be the spiciest and most aromatic in India. Chettinad masala: Chettinad cuisine is popular for its use for some exceptional, aromatic spices mainly used for preparing non-vegetarian food.

History states that most of the spices (like star anise) were brought to India by the Chettiars who are a majority successful trading community in this region. Some of the important spices used for making the Chettinad masala are star aniseed, lichen (also known as black stone flower or dagad phool), whole red chillies, pepper corns, maratti mokku (dried flower pods), mace, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves.

Few also add fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds etc. All these spices are nicely dry roasted so that the moisture in it gets dry and helps in bringing out the volatile oils which actually gives a very intense flavour to the spice. Other Egg recipes: Eggs are extremely flexible ingredient and can be either scrambled, boiled, fried, poached or use in other dishes for making pancakes, soufflés, frittatas, omelettes, cakes etc. Some of the popular dishes made with egg are Egg Roast – Kerala style, Egg Croquettes, Paneer Egg Shakshuka, Simple Egg Curry with Pressure Cooked Onion Tomato Gravy etc.
