GARLIC EGG ROAST - KAARA MUTTAI

    A simple recipe whatsoever.  If you are in a jiffy or lazy to cook, then this recipe can come for your rescue.  Simply boil the Eggs, peel them, cut into halves, marinate it with a mix of Turmeric Powder, Red Chilli Powder & Salt, leave it aside for a few minutes and then shallow fry these Eggs on a very low flame.  This Egg Roast is as simple as that.  But to add a note of flavour and extravagance, I have added some sautéed Garlic and Curry Leaves, which takes this dish to the next level.

    This Kaara Muttai or the Egg Roast recipe can be made in different ways.  Some add Ginger-garlic paste along with the marinade, some recipes call for adding Garam Masala etc., The choice is yours, convert it to suit your taste, preference and convenience.

    This Garlic Egg Roast or Kaara Muttai goes well with Rasam or and hot fuming Rice. Serve it along with Rice and Paruppu Curries Simple yet satiating combination.  My Mom makes this Egg Roast without Garlic.  Egg Roast can be served as a side dish for Biriyani or Pulao too, rather than serving just the Hard-boiled Eggs.

NOTES:

• I have fried the Eggs separately and then sautéed the Garlics & Curry Leaves.
• Otherwise, I feel the garlic gets burned off by the time the Eggs are roasted.
• I like slightly crunchy and aromatic garlic rather than burnt ones.
• Can halve the Eggs or can use full eggs too.  If doing so, make small slits over the Eggs.
