If you ask keralites what are the breakfast items from Kerala or if you check any Kerala restaurant breakfast menu, you can find like these pair of names “Puttu and kadala curry”, “Appam and Egg Roast”, “Idiyappam and egg Curry”, “Poori and Potato Curry”, “Dosa and Sambar”, “Idly and Chammanthi Curry”, “Porota and beef ”, “Vellayappam and tharavu (duck) Curry” etc..etc… Yeah! In Kerala breakfast has an important role and they used to prepare and enjoy it as the proper and tasty way.
Egg Roast is a tasty and spicy aromatic curry based in an onion tomato caramelized masala gravy. Normally keralites prefer this thick and mild spicy gravy with Appam, Idiyappam, Porotta, Chappathi or Puttu. Whatever it is, as a keralite my favorite combo with Egg roast is Spongy and frilled appams 😀 and that eating habits starts from my childhood and it will not change until now 🙂 here is the egg roast recipe, try and find out your favorite combo with egg roast too 😀 enjoy!
