Chettinad Egg Curry (A Curry Using Boiled Eggs And Delicious Chettinad Masala)

Chettinad is a beautiful place nestled in the Sivaganga District of Tamil Nadu!Its reminiscent of the Chettiars or the wealthy landowners and money lenders who lived there 2 – 3 centuries back.They were so rich that they built palatial bungalows and mini palaces which are preserved as museums and some have the descendants of the bygone era who keep up the traditions through frequent media posts,books and periodicals! The Chettinad cuisine has now become world famous with people vying to taste the food and swearing that they have not eaten anything so flavourful and typically South Indian flavoured!The cuisine is noted for 2 basic South Indian ingredients – Coconut and Curry Leaves – both lending their flavours in the most amazing way possible!This recipe is versatile in the sense that you can add any ingredient of your choice to it.I have added hard boiled and lightly fried eggs but Chicken,Mutton (goat meat),Duck,Fish,Beef and Pork can be added to give uber delicious results.The Chettiars used to use Venison which was treated as a Royal recipe!Recently for vegetarians they have started adding juicy cubes of paneer and crispy vegetables which are really delicious!Make the curry in advance and freeze it.It freezes very well and the flavour is enhanced!Use it within 15 – 20 days.
