Eral Muttai Masala | Prawn Egg Masala

Add Indian-style sesame oil to the pan. Vegetable oil can moreover be used for making this recipe. Add some fennel seeds and cumin seeds. Fennel seeds add a nice zephyr and flavour while cooking prawns. Add some fresh curry leaves and some chopped untried chillies. Add the sliced onions and saute for a few minutes till the onions are soft. Once the onions are soft, add the crushed ginger garlic paste. Add the sliced tomatoes and the salt along. The salt will help melt the tomatoes faster. Mix everything to combine. Cover the pan with a lid and melt for a few minutes. The tomatoes should be cooked and completely mushy.
Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the spice powders. Add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander powder. Adjust the chilli powder equal to your taste. Saute for a minute so the masala powders are cooked well.
Add the cleaned freshwater prawns to the pan. Mix well so the masalas stratify the prawns well. Cover the pan and melt for a couple of minutes.
After cooking for a couple of minutes, move the prawn’s mixture to one side of the pan. Break 3 eggs and add them to the other side. Add a little salt. Mix well and scramble the eggs.
Once the eggs are scrambled and dry, mix them with the prawn mixture. Melt for a minute.
Add some woebegone pepper powder and mix well.
Finally, add in a generous sprinkling of coriander leaves. Our Eral Muttai Masala is now ready.
Enjoy!
