Egg wha?? I hear you say. Yes you read right.This is presenting egg chutney with crouton sticks.
No other international party so far has been this tough for me. Till 2 days ago I seemed to have drawn a blank! Egg seems to be a well-explored ingredient and I couldnt think of anything unique for the party animals. Then voila, I remembered an old recipe that my childhood friend had passed on to me. So I called her up and revived old memories attached to the recipe.
Egg chutney can be used as a dip or as a spread on a sandwhich which can be included in a school lunch.
Ingredients-
1 egg
1onion
1tomato
2cloves of garlic
1/2inch piece of ginger

- Chop onion and tomato.
- Heat oil in a pan and add the mustard powder.
- Throw in the chopped onion, crushed ginger-garlic. Saute.

ReplyDeleteAn egg chutney is a very unique idea, sounds great with ginger addition!
ReplyDeleteKids are often the toughest critics I think - if this was certified as yummy by a five year old then I certain it was exactly that!
ReplyDeleteGreat spread, and the colour is beautifully deceptive - doesn't make you think egg!
ReplyDeleteThe recipe is similar to an Australian dish from the middle of last century - Mock Chicken - though is missing the cheese component. It's still a staple sandwich spread at many Bowling Clubs and country fairs.
