Egg Rice | Mutta Rice | Muttai Sadam | Easy Lunch box recipes

This is one of the most nostalgic lunch box dish from my school days for me ! In fact for my sister as well. This was her most favorite lunch that she liked to take to school :) Now Dhruv also likes this rice ;) Cute right :D This is very easy to make and will be ready in a jiffy and also fancy, heavy and protein packed for a lunch box.. You can have it as such or can also pair it up with raita or pappad. You can make it dry or little juicy based on your taste. If you do not like it dry, don't saute the eggs much and also make sure that when you cook the rice it's not very dry and for that adjust the water accordingly. If you have not made this rice before, try it out soon coz it's not gonna disappoint you for sure :)

Recipe Source: Ma

Serves: 3-4 persons

I Took: 

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

I Used:

Basmati Rice (uncooked)	-	1 cup
Egg	-	1 no
Oil	-	2 tbsp
Onion	-	1 no (medium sized - finely chopped)
Tomato	-	1 no (medium sized - finely chopped)
Ginger Garlic paste	-	2 tsp
Pepper powder	-	1 tsp
Salt	-	As Needed

The Way:

1. Rinse the rice in water and cook them as you normally do. I used basmati rice here and have taken water and rice in the ratio of 2:1 and have pressure cooked for 1 whistle. You can steam cook the rice or pressure cook it, as per your convenience

2. Chop finely the onions and tomatoes and keep aside. In a wide pan, heat oil

3. Add the chopped onions and salt and saute. The onions should turn translucent. Then add the ginger-garlic paste and saute. Leave it about for 2 minutes, sauteeing in between, for the raw smell to go

4. Now add the chopped tomatoes and saute again. The tomatoes should turn mushy

5. Add the pepper powder and give a quick stir. Adjust pepper powder according to your taste

6. Now break and add the egg and saute like you do for the scrambled eggs

7. Once the egg is cooked and mixed well, switch off the flame. Add the cooked rice to it and mix well and evenly

Serve with raita or pappad or can be had as such as well :)

Boiled Egg Fry | Masala Egg Fry | Muttai Fry | Simple Mutta Roast

This is a very very simple preparation of egg which is very flavourful and steals the mind of any egg lover. Deeps never have had this before I introduced to him and let me tell you, he was bowled over by this simple mutta roast.. My amma used to make this often and it tastes really good when you pair it up with sambar rice or rasam rice. Don't worry if you do not have a fish fry or chicken roast for your sambar sadam, this egg roast will do all justice as good as them ! This is so simple that you may think that this need not even count as a recipe, but trust me, some egg loving souls are going to thank me later !

Udaitha Muttai Curry | Egg Drop Gravy

Recipe Source: Ma

Serves: 3 persons

I Took: 

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

I Used:

Eggs	-	3 nos
Red Chilly powder	-	½ tsp
Coriander powder	-	½ tsp
Turmeric Powder	-	¼ tsp
Salt	-	As needed

The Way:

1. Take the eggs in a saucepan and add water to it such that the eggs are immersed in the water. And then boil the eggs along with a tsp of salt added to the water 

2. Once the eggs are done, remove them from flame and keep them immersed in cold water for about 3-5 minutes. Then peel the eggs off the shell. Make small cuts (around 4-5 on each egg) on the eggs so that the masala is absorbed inside the eggs while you fry them

3. Heat oil in a pan or kadai. Keep flame on low. Else the masala will get burnt. When it is midly hot add turmeric powder, red chilly powder, coriander powder and salt and mix well

4. Add the boiled eggs to it and give a quick stir. Switch off the flame 

Serve the eggs along with rice and a gravy !

Notes:

• You can use sambar powder instead of red chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder

• Also you can make a paste of all the powders and salt together and then add it to the oil instead of adding each one by one. This way you can ensure that the masala doesn't get burnt
