Kerala egg roast is a delicious dry egg curry.
A lip-smacking side dish and my favourite too.
I have already shared few egg recipes here.
Egg with mustard and poppy seeds
Egg in yogurt sauce
Spicy egg
Egg biryani
I have mentioned earlier that I love potatoes in my non veg dishes. In authentic recipe Kerala egg roast made with only eggs. But I have added some potato and little sugar. As a bong I like to add little sugar in the curries.
If you want you can omit potatoes and sugar. I have added one boiled and mashed egg in the gravy for more eggy taste. You can add coconut milk or coconut paste if you like.
So here is a Bong style Kerala egg roast 😊
