Restaurant style egg curry/ Mutta curry (Serves 4)
Here is a delicious restaurant style egg curry which is the best to go with appams. Appam and mutta curry (Egg curry) is one of Kerala?s signature breakfast combinations. I absolutely loved it, and no other egg curry can beat this one on its taste. This curry is definitely going to be my pair for appams from now on. Thanks to the Maroli Indian restaurant, Toronto?s blog for introducing this awesome treat to all foodies?.
