Chettinad Egg Curry is a popular protein-rich dish from the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu, where eggs
are transformed into a flavorful curry using traditional spice blends. At Deepam Chettinad and Indian Grill,
we honor this tradition by using fresh eggs and authentic spice blends that capture the bold essence of
Chettinad cooking. The curry begins with perfectly hard-boiled eggs that are lightly scored to allow the
spices to penetrate, then gently simmered in a base of sautéed onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and fresh
curry leaves.
The signature Chettinad masala paste is prepared by grinding fresh coconut with roasted fennel seeds,
peppercorns, cumin, coriander, and other aromatic spices. This rich paste is added to the curry base along
with tamarind for tanginess, creating a gravy that's deep, complex, and perfectly balanced. The eggs are
gently simmered in this flavorful gravy until they absorb all the aromatic spices, developing rich, layered
flavors while maintaining their perfect texture. The curry is finished with fresh curry leaves and a tempering
of mustard seeds and dried chilies, resulting in a dish that's deeply satisfying when served with steamed
rice, dosa, roti, or parotta.
