Kerala Style Egg Stew
It’s been some time since I posted an egg recipe here. I’m kinda surprised this gap happened for an egg recipe. We eat eggs more or less on a daily basis. But it’s mostly in Omelet form
However, I’ve been planning to make this Egg Stew for quite some time. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about how it would turn out. The thing is… stew by itself is a very light dish with just a little spice. The flavor of the stew usually comes from the meat we use in the recipe.
