Egg pulusu recipe

Egg pulusu recipe – An easy egg stew known as kodi guddu pulusu in telugu. It is made without tomatoes. But tastes tangy, spicy and hot. Egg pulusu pairs well with rice or chapati. These Indian Egg recipes are a real stand by when you do not have much time and patience to cook an elaborate meal.

Eggs can be used to prepare a variety of dishes like egg bhurji, hot and spicy egg curry, egg masala, egg biryani, egg fried rice, and egg fried noodles and even an Egg Pulusu.

Egg pulusu can even be paired up with some vegetables like potato or drumsticks. Today’s pulusu can be prepared just as it is only with egg. It can be paired with drumsticks or potatoes too. They are cooked in a spicy and tangy stew which is thickened by tamarind. Most people like to use jaggery in pulusu but I have not used.

Pulusu can be prepared even with vegetables like okra, bottle gourd, potatoes, drumsticks etc. Pulusu does not need any garam masala or ginger garlic paste. While some folks add crushed garlic while the pulusu is boiling.

I have seen some egg pulusu recipes call for rice flour for thickening. We do not like a pulusu that way. So we just add coriander and cumin powder sometimes.To get a bright color pulusu like you see in the picture, do not use coriander or cumin powder.
