Chettinad Egg Curry/ Muttai Kulambhu
Chettinadu dishes are very famous for it’s spiciness and aroma. I like the egg to be cooked along with the gray rather than boiling and adding it separately to the gravy.

Step 1
Chop Onion, tomato and keep it ready. Grind the Paste 1 to coarse and Paste 2 to a very soft pastes.
-
Step 2
In a pan add Oil, Mustard. When mustard splutters add the curry leaves and chopped onion. Fry for 1 min. Add the Paste 1 and fry till the raw smell leaves. Approximately around 4-5 min in the medium flame. Add the chopped tomato and fry for 2 min. Add Red Chili powder, Coriander Powder, Pepper Powder and Garam masala and fry for 30 sec. Add the Paste 2 and add 1 cup of water, Salt and wait till it starts boiling. Then break the first egg and add directly to the boiling curry. Let it cook for 5 min. Add the next egg and repeat the above step till you add 3 eggs. After all eggs are cooked add coriander leaves and switch off the flame.
- Eggs can be cooked separately and added at the end.
- Adding raw egg to the curry gives extra taste to the Curry.
- Give a break of 5 minutes in between while adding eggs. This helps the egg to cook as a solid piece else kurma would be mashed up.Also You would smell the raw egg taste.
(*) This goes good for White Rice, Chapathi and Dosa.

Hi sashi
I tried your cauliflower-egg fry recipe and it came out superb! I also added some daniya pwd and eastern meat masala to give that extra kick.It tasted like a dhaba dish seriously. I want to try this dish next and I was wondering what can be substituted for annapurna kurma masala as it is not available here n chicago. I mean does this masala gives a north indian taste or does t give a flavor of south like Sakthi masala? I don’t want to skip that part as I think it will enhance the taste.
Sandhya, thanks. I added it to give some strong Garam masala taste, You can add any garam masala as a substitute.. shouldnt affect the taste much. Hope this helps.
Hi again sashi,
I tried this recipe and the result was awesome! i substituted the kurma masala with chicken masala and little garam masala..Your recipes are much better than recipes from other food blogs sashi..
