Egg Roast in Mahaa Kadai: Kerala-Style Spice Simmer with an Induction-Friendly Base

No Kerala Christmas table feels complete without a rich, slow-cooked Egg Roast. Deeply spiced, gently simmered, and finished with caramelised onions, this iconic dish is all about patience, heat control, and even cooking—exactly where the Mahaa stainless-steel Kadai shines.

Whether you’re cooking on gas or induction, Mahaa’s induction-friendly sandwich base ensures every spice blooms evenly, without burning or sticking.

Why Mahaa Kadai Is Perfect for Egg Roast

Kerala egg roast needs slow sautéing and controlled simmering—not rushed heat.

Mahaa Kadai advantages:

• Induction & gas compatible sandwich base for uniform heat

• Even heat distribution prevents spice scorching

• Food-grade, ISI/BIS-certified stainless steel

• Deep kadai design for proper tossing and simmering

• Durable build for repeated festive cooking

Result: perfectly coated eggs, thick masala, and authentic flavour.

Kerala-Style Egg Roast Recipe

Ingredients

• 5–6 boiled eggs (shell removed, lightly slit)

• 3 large onions, thinly sliced

• 2 tomatoes, finely chopped

• 2 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

• 2 green chillies, slit

• 1½ tsp red chilli powder

• ½ tsp turmeric powder

• 1 tsp coriander powder

• ½ tsp garam masala

• 1 tsp black pepper powder

• Salt to taste

• Curry leaves (generous handful)

Method (Best Cooked in Mahaa Kadai)

1. Heat the Kadai
   Place your Mahaa Kadai on medium flame or induction. Add coconut oil and let it heat evenly.

2. Slow-Caramelise the Onions
   Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook patiently, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
   This step defines the flavour—Mahaa’s even base prevents burning.

3. Build the Masala
   Add ginger-garlic paste, green chillies, and curry leaves. Sauté until aromatic.
   Add tomatoes and cook till soft and oil separates.

4. Spice Simmer
   Lower heat. Add chilli powder, turmeric, coriander powder, pepper, and garam masala.
   Stir gently—no harsh heat.

5. Add the Eggs
   Slide in boiled eggs and coat them evenly with masala.
   Cover and simmer on low heat for 8–10 minutes.

6. Final Finish
   Sprinkle extra curry leaves and cracked pepper. Rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Why Induction Compatibility Matters

On induction cooktops, uneven cookware can ruin slow-simmer dishes.
Mahaa’s induction-friendly sandwich base maintains steady temperature—essential for thick masalas like egg roast that demand control, not speed.

Serving Suggestions

• With appam, idiyappam, or Kerala parotta

• As part of a Christmas lunch spread

• Tastes even better the next day—ideal for batch cooking
