Udaitha Muttai Kuzhambu | Egg Drop Curry | Poached Egg Curry is a simple, light and comfort side dish for steamed rice, chapathi or dosa. It takes just 30-35 minutes to prepare. This dish mostly served on most of the south Indian kitchens.
For this poached egg curry, just saute the onions and tomato, then add you favorite spices and saute well, then crack the eggs and drop in the curry and cook for 10 minutes. For the creamy thickness of the curry, add 3 tbsp fresh coconut paste and then finally garnish with coriander leaves. Adjust spice level according to your taste. Please don’t add ginger garlic paste.
