EGG GRAVY/KODIGUDDU PULUSU

(TELANGANA STYLE) 

Kodiguddu pulusu/egg gravy is a very popular dish in telangana,which is cooked in tamarind sauce.As I am a non vegiterian I would like to include egg in many of my recipies.


Studies show that having 2 eggs for breakfast completes one's protein need for that day. Either it is boiled or  made an omlette, eggs are very healthy and are loaded with proteins and minerals.

  • Add coriander powder
  • Put on low flame and cook for 5-10 minutes.
  • Switch off the flame.Garnish with corriander leaves.
  • Serve hot with steamed rice. 
TIPS: 
  1. Slightly slit the eggs with a fork,before frying, so that it obsorbs the gravy well.
  2. If you find the gravy too thick add a cup of water along with tamarind juice and let it  boil.
  3. Adding corriander leaves  in any (pulusu) gravy curries gives it a nice flavour.
