Kuttanadan Egg Roast

A good piece of advice I found sometime back, sharing it with all of you over here… 🙂

Eggs are something that I cook and are always accepted with open hands at home. The person who used to hate eggs, Rasha has now converted into an “I-am-OK-with-it” type, which is such a relief! The recipe I am sharing with you is courtesy of big chef Naushad, who is a very well known name among Keralites. He shares a hell lot of easy recipes and makes cooking look like a child’s play. This recipe is adapted from a YouTube video I had seen. Though the roast did not turn as red as I would have loved it to be as I reduced the red chilli drastically to cater to my kids’ tastebuds, the end result was really delicious. After all, it is loads of shallots that you are sauteing so it should taste good, right? I have used chicken eggs here, but if you find yourself with some duck eggs, then use it for a more authentic version! I have already shared a Kuttanadan Chicken Roast earlier, with all my memories attached to that beautiful waterfront. Off to the recipe…
