Peppers and egg sandwich is my hubby's and son's favourite breakfast and this easy and quick Italian flavoured breakfast found its way late here on my blog. Egg sandwich are one of my easy breakfast option on Sundays; I always make this in a hurry and thus did not get to take a picture. When I mentioned this to Homey; he said he will wake me up early morning the next day so that I can take a video and plus he will get to have his favourite breakfast....how cool was that?? Okay back to peppers and egg sandwich; it is made with capsicum and onion and thus got the name "peppers" because the flavour of capsicum stands out. You can make it with both green and red capsicum or a mix of both, but my friend who gave me the recipe (he lives in Italy) insists that red capsicum should be used; apparently that makes this sandwich perfect in taste and flavour.  And, yes that is vouched by the men in my house....they simply love peppers & egg sandwich with red pepper. ...

So, when I went to see Nidhi at NIT; I made a dozen of tandoori chicken hamburgers (will share sometime the recipe) I used this mayo to make the coleslaw (again, will share that recipe too) and kids just loved the burgers and a dozen tandoori chicken burgers just vanished in minutes....that made Nidhi's friends and me happy! So, coming back to this recipe; I used lemon instead of vinegar and I would advise you to do the s...

Masala egg fry or egg masala fry, is a quick and easy starter or appetiser from Malabar . Usually, whole boiled eggs are roasted in coconut oil and masalas and most "chayakada" (tea shop) or "thattukada" (street food stall) does proudly display masala egg fry. I have asked around my neighbours and friends for the authentic recipe of Malabar mutta masala fry and like all other food each family has a different style. Some like to use only red chilli powder and some use a little bit of coriander and garam masala powders. But towards the North side people use sauf and red chilli powder as the main ingredient and if you add too much coriander powder it will over power the other spices....atleast that was the advice I got. I have been making this for some time and came up to a recipe which has more of red chilly powder and a fat pinch of the other spices but I must admit the saunf and the coconut oil is the main flavour maker. I also like to slice the eggs into h...
