Boil the Eggs:
To begin the Tamil Nadu Style Egg Fry recipe, start by boiling the eggs. Heat water in a saucepan and carefully add the eggs. Let them cook for 15-20 minutes until you notice the eggshell starting to crack. Once done, turn off the heat, drain the water, and allow the eggs to cool down. -

Peel and Slice the Eggs:
After the eggs have cooled, peel off the shells. Cut each egg into halves and set them aside. -
Prepare the Spice Paste:
In a mixer grinder, combine the roasted Bengal gram lentils, dry red chillies, chopped ginger, garlic cloves, whole black pepper, and salt. Add a little warm water and blend it all together to form a smooth paste. -
Fry the Eggs:
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, dip each egg half into the prepared spice paste, ensuring itβs evenly coated. Place the coated eggs in the pan and fry them on both sides until they become crispy and golden brown. -
Serve:
Once the eggs are perfectly fried, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate. Serve the Tamil Nadu Style Egg Fry hot, paired with Prawn Biryani and Coriander Tadka Raita for a delightful dinner experience.
