Egg Chutney Kebab

Ramadan Kareem! The holy month of Ramadan started last week. Some of you sent me email asking for  special Ramadan recipes. That's when I was reminded about the Malabar Cuisine cookery book I bought from Kerala last year. Though I had bookmarked many recipes in that book, didn't get a chance to try any. So what's a better time than this to try out the Malabar delicacies?

This recipe is completely new to me. I've always noticed that egg plays an important role in Malabar cuisine. They use egg as a main ingredient in a variety of dishes and this one is no exception. This can be served as a tea time snack or as a starter. I was a bit skeptical about how it would turn out but I was surprised with the end result. How such simple ingredients can be turned into something this beautiful still astonishes me. Hope you like it too.

Here is the recipe:

  7. Good one , Maria. I might try this one out for the weekend :-) We are having some guests over for dinner on Saturday and the theme is (according to me) Malabar Cuisine :-)

    Pinne, oru samshayam. Did you shallow fry it? Chutney-side down?

    • Thanks Ria :) Any special reason for selecting Malabar theme, I think somebody is homesick ;)

      Anyways, I didnt shallow fry, I did deep fry. But I guess you can do shallow fry & one of the reader’s commented saying they bake this.

      Hope you will like it, have fun!

      Cheers
