Kerala Egg Roast

We prefer our egg roast with some gravy while restaurant-style Kerala egg roast tends to have a richer, thicker gravy. No matter how you prefer to make egg roast, it uses the same basic ingredients and is very easy to prepare.

Instructions

1. Here’s how I make perfect boiled eggs after seeing the instructions on Martha Stewart’s website.
2. Wash the eggs thoroughly under running water and add to a pan of tap water. Use a large enough pan so that the eggs are not on top of each other and make sure there’s enough water to cover the eggs completely.
3. Place on medium heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once it starts boiling well, turn off heat and cover the pan. Set aside for 30 mins or so while you prepare the gravy for egg roast.
