Egg Roast (Kerala Style) from our recent trip to Kerala, my hubby developed a new taste of coconut oil. Now all he wants is coconut oil in everything. I should thanks to our houseboat chef because he was cooking everything in coconut oil and that smell use to make us hungry like anything and all we only did was eating and eating. While coming back I bought few bottles of coconut oil and earthen cooking pots and believe me I'm also enjoying cooking in my new pots.. I have many more Kerala style recipes on the way.. I had even cooked this egg roast in a normal cooking oil and in kadai, that also taste good but this was exceptionally tasty. Do try this dish and let me know!!
