MASALA EGG FRY

19.05.2020: This is a simple egg fry. The only masala that goes into it is the garam masala. Masala Egg Fry just sounds better than Egg Fry, hence the name.

Mamma would often make boiled egg fry and I loved the burnt onions in this dish. I later learnt that mamma never intentionally burnt the onions. Most times she left the pan on low flame going about with other chores only to later find the onion burnt. I love caramelised onions. They are sweet and enhance the flavour of most dishes. Just be careful not to burn them too much, else they taste bitter.

This dish is reserved for days when we have run out of vegetables or when we have lachha paranthas with a creamy gravy.

The masala egg fry goes well with both rice and rotis.
