Naadan Egg Masala
Posted by Annita on March 9, 2006
Indian Coffee House alias ICH is a restaurant chain in India founded by Kerala’s legendary communist leader AKG .ICH which was known for its strong flavoured coffee,now has 52 shops all around Kerala.There was an ICH restaurant in my college campus also,where we used to go in groups….had lotsa fun,chatting and cracking jokes…u know unforgettable campus fun.I’ve always been a great fan of ICH Egg Roast.Sometimes it’s good to get nostalgic..rt?
Egg Masala goes with almost anything ,but Appam-Egg Masala combo and Porotta-Egg Masala combo are most popular ones.And now the recipe….
Ingredients:-
Boiled Eggs -2
Sliced Onions -1
Ginger-Garlic paste -1 tsp
Curry leaves -a few
Tomato sliced -1/2
Salt – to taste
Oil – as needed
For the Masala:-
Chilly Powder -1/2 tsp
Coriander powder -1 tbsp
Egg Masala – 2 tsp(You can use Meat masala,Vegetable masala or even Garam masala..I normally use Eastern Meat Masala which i brought from Kerala
Method:-
Heat oil in the pan and add Onion,Curry leaves and salt.Saute for few minutes and add ginger garlic paste.Saute till onions turn brown.Add the masalas and saute it again for few minutes.Add tomatoes and mix well.Heat it for 5 minutes,stirring in between.The gravy should be sauteed very well,until it is almost black in color.Add 1 cup of water and simmer for 5 more minutes.Just before switching off add boiled eggs into it and stir well.Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
Last Sunday we had Palappam & this Egg Masala for breakfast.

gosh.. I have been looking for this recipe for zeons. I had it at a KSRTC bus station canteen with appam in 1980.. and have been serching for it since then..
Problem is I don’t get eastern or any masala powder where I stay.. What should I add?
I donno i somehow miss this comment…You can add a coimbination of chilly powder,coriander powder,pepper powder and garam masala powder according to ur taste Sarah..Be careful to fry it well..I mean fry fry and fry till it is quite dark in color..Sorry for the delay

hi annita,
i tried your egg roast recipe from your valiamma and liked it very much.i have Q for you?how do you store your store brought parsley?i tried paper towel and ziploc bag idea. it didn’t work for me.any ideas… greatly appreciated..bye
It wont last for long renju,I usually keep it wrapped in a cloth for sometime and when it start to decay,chop it and put it in freezer in an air tight container.It will stay for long in freezer,but it’ll lose that freshness..I don’t know any other methods..Sorry about it

Hi from Canada – five years later! :D I keep parsley simply by leaving it whole, and sticking the whole bouquet in a short,fat container of water – in the fridge.
You may already know this and not do it for some reason I would never think of! – Amy

Hi Annita,
I am a big fan of your blog…I try to see if u’ve posted anything new, everyday…i tried this recipe…made a couple of changes in the measure of ingrediants coz I didn’t have everything the recipe required(its a saturday morning, and im outta onions!)…Inspite of that, it turned out superb….i think the trick is in ‘sauteeing the mixture till its almost black’. While I was cooking, this is wat went on in my mind like a mantra! :)
Thanks for the tip, annita….u rock! :)

I tried this recipe tonight and it has come out ok. Your recipe is good. Its just me. Somehow (as always) I manage to overboil the eggs and add chilly powder so much that the egg roast looks like a torture curry. Anyways, there is always a next time. Would you have a recipe for chicken biriyani (which ofcourse is not complicated). Thanks.

nidhi said
lovely recipe and came out excellent! thanks a lot! but hey one doubt – why have you named the dish as egg roast when its actually egg masala??
Actually i donno,Nidhi..My amma refers this curry by that name,so it got into my brain like that..:)) . Now i also feel it has to be called Egg Masala only…Nice suggestion…will correct that for sure…

Hi,
Nice recepie, actually i was going through the blog , and someone was asking about how to preserve parsley, cilantro? well this is what i do, u can just put it in a plastic container with lid and keep it in the refrigerator or can even use used yougurt tins, pour a little water in the tin,( so that the cilantro steams absorb water and stay fresh longer, )keep the cilantro steams diped in water,(very little water) cover with its lid and keep refrigerated, u can use same method for preserving mint leaves, they stay fresh for more then 10 days.
One more thing what i do is , if u have small pots at home , u can keep it in kitchen or where u like, and can just plant the mint steam right into the mud after u use the leaves,in 3 to 4 days new leaves start growing,this way slowly slowly u will have a pot full of your own fresh mint plant at home,and can use from there when u need just few mint leaves.
Thank you very much Nisha..I really appreciate your effort to share this info with us..This surely is a greata help..

A large percentage of of the things you assert is astonishingly legitimate and it makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. This article truly did switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular issue goes. Nonetheless there is one point I am not too cozy with so whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual core theme of the issue, allow me see what all the rest of your readers have to say.Very well done.
