Mutta Kakkam is quite a fascinating Malabari special dish and I was completely bowled over the glamorous appeal of boiled eggs. You find the dish commonly served in every Malabar home. These fried eggs would be the staple in any Malabar home for guests. The boiled, peeled and slashed eggs were coated with a spicy masala mixture and deep fried or shallow fried as per preference. What fascinated me is the masala mixture sticking well onto the eggs without the masalas getting charred nor turning too smokey. These Malabar Fried Eggs are specialty dishes and I was lucky to get the recipe from my aunt residing in Malabar. Even the masala mixture gets varied from home to home and I am sticking to this version of Mutta Kakkam, I found favorable. I love keeping the spice level simple.
