Muttai Masala Recipe | Onion Muttai Masala | Egg Masala Recipe

When ever I don't have veggies at home I prefer to cook Egg recipes like Egg curry, Poached Egg Kuzhambu or this Muttai Masala. There are some simple dishes that I make way often but never shared it here, some quick sabzis, onion tomato masala, muttai masala, Indian Style Beans Soup, Simple Salads, Masala Pasta, Tomato Pasta and more day-to-day recipes I wanted to share here but didn't get chance to click pictures OR I have to cook it specially to take pictures like this Muttai Masala.
One fine day I was completely bored and free and thought to cook and take pictures to feed my blog. But no proper veggies or cooked beans in hand, then immediately this Muttai Masala came to mind and without any second thought prepared and clicked some pictures :) Onion Egg Masala is a quick and simple side dish prepared using boiled eggs and more onions. This muttai masala pairs well with plain rice and with rotis too.
