Best Egg Drumstick Curry Recipe | Kodi Guddu Mulakkaya Kura
Egg Drumstick Curry or Kodi Guddu Mulakkaya Kura is one of the authentic curry recipes of Andhra. I always like to add eggs when we make Mulakkaya Kura.
In South India, people also like to add potatoes and brinjal apart from basic ingredients tomatoes and onions. Sometimes I like to add drumsticks while preparing the chicken curry.
This version is a simple and healthy nutritious recipe that can be made with fewer ingredients. Usually, thick and tender drumsticks taste great while making this recipe.
While making Kodi Guddu Mulakkaya Kura, one should take care of cooking drumsticks as they get split soon. Few people like to cook drumsticks separately and add them to the curry and cook for a minute or two and remove them from the flame.
Tips to Make Perfect Egg Drumstick Curry Recipe:
Boil eggs perfectly: Boil your hard eggs for just done, around 8-10 minutes. It is bad to overcook, the result would be rubbery. Peel them and leave them aside.
Fresh drumsticks: Use fresh tender drumsticks. Moringa pods are mainly called drumsticks. Clean and chop them into 3-4 inches of length. More tender the drumsticks are, the quicker they will get cooked and the flavor is better.
Fry the boiled eggs lightly: Fry the boiled eggs in a little oil with a pinch of turmeric and chili powder. This helps to give a slight crust to the eggs and adds flavor.
Make flavorful base: Sauté onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and spices well together. The masala makes the curry flavorful. Take your time to prepare it properly.
Coconut milk or paste: It imparts the curry a South Indian rich, creamy texture. It also balances the spices.
Spice balance: Subtlety of Cumin, coriander with turmeric and garam masala goes a long way. Set the heat level according to your requirement by decreasing more chili powder or increasing less green chilies added.
Simmer drumsticks well: The drumsticks should be simmered till soft. This should preferably be done before putting eggs in them, so they can absorb the flavors of gravies.
Add eggs last: The boiled eggs to be added towards the end should not be overdone. Simmer slowly for some time to let eggs absorb the curry flavor.
Garnish with coriander: Garnish it with fresh coriander leaves for more freshness and fragrance.
