    What is egg masala fry?

    This egg masala fry, or egg fry masala, also known as the Andhra egg fry recipe, is a popular and delectable dish from the South of India, where the skilful use of spices is a hallmark.

    In the preparation of masala egg fry, boiled eggs are cut and then pan-fried in aromatic spices. I prefer a little butter with oil to fry as it gives a rich, buttery, creamy taste to the fried eggs. Garnish with fresh herbs for a final refreshing look before serving this dish. The frying process imparts enticing flavour, colour and aroma to the eggs, making them a delicious savoury delight for the palate.

    This recipe is a perfect egg masala dry if you are looking for egg fry Indian style. Then look no further. Make this spices-infused egg dry for your family and enjoy the bold flavours of Indian masala anytime you want easy-to-make recipes.

    Reasons to 💖hard fried eggs:

     🟩It is one of the best egg starter recipes.

     🟩Quick and easy boiled egg masala recipe that requires minimal prep.

     🟩High protein and low-carb snack recipe.

     🟩Finger-licking yum as infused with aromatic and bold Indian spices.

     🟩Satisfying that makes you full in one or two eggs.

    Ingredients

    To make this boiled eggs fry recipe, you need the following ingredients:

    Ingredients for fried egg masala.
    1. Eggs- Use hard-boiled eggs to make this anda fry masala.
    2. Oil- Any oil works well with the recipe. Make sure it is without any flavour.
    3. Butter - I use butter with salt. Use any. Butter gives hard-fried eggs a creamy and soft flavour.
    4. Garlic - Use fresh garlic cloves to impart aroma and taste. I like garlic flavour so much that it is too hard to avoid in this egg recipe. Feel free to skip it if you don't like it.
    5. Cumin seeds- Good for digestion.
    6. Chillies - Impart heat to the recipe.
    7. Curry leaves - For aroma and taste.
    8. Turmeric- Colouring agent that gives a beautiful golden yellow colour to the boiled eggs.
    9. Red chilli powder- For colour and heat.
    10. Salt
    11. Garam masala - Garam masala is a blend of several Indian spices that bring real flavour to the recipe.
    12. Cilantro- Garnish.

    Next, gently place the boiled eggs one by one into the masala facing the yolk downwards (image below).
