Egg Pepper Masala, my favorite dish to prepare when i'm lazy to cook anything elaborately or when i cook for me alone.This pepper masala goes well with rasam rice, chapathi or even with mild pulao.You can make this as completely dry or as semi gravy,Yep it's so versatile.
As temperature was below 30F here last weekend, i was so lazy and prepared this simple egg pepper masala along with some hot chapathi for our dinner. It tasted so wonderful for this weather. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed for sure.
