Sunday brunch and eggs have an age old relationship in our household. The foremost reason being that we all love eggs, the other but no less important is that they are quick and easy to make. Hence, they are a perfect ingredient for a lazy Sunday brunch recipe.
Egg curry is almost a staple food in my household and especially because he loves it I cook it very often. While the traditional spicy hot egg curry is a favourite during winters, this creamy curry with eggs is just perfect for a summer meal. It has a tangy soft texture that is light on the stomach and hence a perfect option for this season.
My mother, a wonderful and dedicated cook by heart, familiarised my palate to various kinds of cuisines. I was fed chutneys to hummus, falafels to pakoda, Sāmbhar to Mughlai gravies. But born in a Telugu family, I have a special connection to Andhra food (Andhra Pradesh – a south Indian state located on the south eastern coast of India)
Andhra food is popular for being spicy and tangy. Andhra food is lively both on the plate and to the palate. Every dish is a party of flavours in the mouth. But many remain in the delusion of Andhra food being exclusively spicy. It is annoying to go to restaurant and order something with the word “Andhra” in it and all you get is a dish full of chillies, chilli powder and pepper. Andhra food is spicy but not destructively hot. It is a harmony between spice and tang, yet preserving the taste of the main ingredient.
Sunday ho ya Monday.. Roz Khao Ande!! .. Remember the famous punch line for promotion of eating eggs in India. And why not, eggs are a good source of high quality protein, choline, all 9 essential amino acids and much more. But well deviled eggs are my best choice as snack not only for its nutrition but it is easy to cook and they taste YUM!!
