ERAL MUTTAI PODIMAS

Eral muttai podimas or prawn egg scramble is made by adding eggs to prawn thokku. It is a perfect side dish for any kind of rice. It can also be placed inside crispy dosa, and can be served as eral muttai dosai. It goes really well with chapathi, poori and parottas.

We usually make this recipe with the leftover prawn thokku. When there is only a little amount of prawn thokku left, it obviously won’t be sufficient for the whole family. So my mom used to add eggs to it, and make this dish, which will make it sufficient for the whole family. I love this dish more, than the prawn thokku.
