Description

Egg pulao . A recipe i got from one of my Telugu speaking friend. Followed the recipe as she mentioned. Turned out well but was extremely spicy. I did forget that this is an Andhra Pradesh Dish. Next time i was careful with the spice and worked out perfect. Egg is one ingredient that i never have at Home stored as my hubby is very fussy about eggs. My boy Afzar loves eggs. Any restaurant we go to his regular instant order would be egg fried rice. Egg is one magical ingredient that works wonders with sweet and savory dishes . I remember as a kid i used to hate to eat the yolk of eggs. Mom used to force and feed me and results i would throw up. Wonder why now a days there is nothing as such that i don’t like. Gosh how can i forget this connection that i have with an egg. Well i was nick named egg in school. The reason i don’t know till date.
