Muttai (Egg) Kuzhambu

Once, when I was in my native, I saw my Grandma preparing this Kuzhambu very faster. My Uncle has started eating Chapati with some other Kuzhambu which was available very less. She quickly pureed the Tomatoes, chopped the Onions, beat the eggs, prepared and served him within minutes. This is the fastest Kuzhambu one can make.

She also prepares this Kuzhambu with boiled eggs and this is her recipe excepting for the addition of Garam Masala and Pudina. Sangee has posted a related recipe with Pudina Leaves. I tried the same and it came out really perfect.

Ingredients:

Eggs 3

Onion (Medium) 1
Big Tomatoes 2
Pudina Leaves Few
