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 skillful usage of spices is a hallmark.

Garnish with fresh herbs for a final refreshing look before serving this dish. The frying process imparts enticing flavor, color, and aroma to the eggs, making them a delicious savory delight for the palate.
