BOILED EGG MASALA /AN EGGY SIDE DISH
Protein-packed, loaded with several minerals and a high amount of vitamins; this wonderful ingredient is an egg. Eggs aren’t just for breakfast, they make other dishes that are not only healthy but also great in taste. If you have eggs in the fridge, you don’t have to think too much about them. They will make your task easier in the kitchen by making tasty dishes
This dish ‘Egg Masala’ is not an exception. This is a side dish prepared with boiled eggs. An onion-tomato masala is the base for the sabzi. Onion tomato masala is roasted with the basic spices and boiled egg pieces are added to make a dry side dish. This side dish completes a meal when served with dal, any curried dish, roti, rice, or parantha. Although this egg masala can be cooked with a little curry I prefer to keep it simple and dry. I love this egg masala with a plain lachha parantha
