Usually when you hear of Egg Curry you think of boiled eggs floating in a spicy gravy. In South India there are many other versions of egg curry that is made – using steamed eggs, poached eggs, omelette etc. I will share them one by one.
Udaitha Muttai Kulambu is a variation of egg curry where the raw eggs are broken directly into the simmering curry. The eggs are poached in the gravy. Little bits of egg is found all over the curry making it super tasty. It is a perfect combo with hot white rice, chapati, aapam, parotta or idiyappam.
