egg thokku south indian style/muttai thokku for rice
Eggs are always rare happening in my blog the reason may be simple that I really don’t know myself till today. I have decided to share some non-vegetarian delicacies in my space at least in my future posts. Eggs are the one very best ingredient that endless variations can be made with it.This egg thokku is a south indian style curry that is very easy to make without any coconut.Nowadays I use free range muttai than the white ones because the brown eggs are much healthier than the white ones. These free range brown eggs are much smaller and firmer than the white ones. Eggs are high in protein and they are very good for growing children. I make this very often for rice and you can use any garam masala brands of your choice. Small onions are best for this egg thokku it gives a very nice taste.
