Easy egg roast recipe is hard-boiled eggs fried and then cooked in an onion tomato based masala. This egg roast is also called muttai varuval in Tamil and nadan muttai roast in Kerala. It goes so well with flatbreads like roti, chapati, parota, dosa, appams, string hoppers and as a side to regular rice dal or lentils.

This easy egg roast is a close cousin of the Kerala nadan muttai roast. It’s best described as boiled eggs in roasted onion and tomato masala. It’s an easy recipe that can be put together in under thirty minutes.

The base sauce or “masala” as called in India is made with simple ingredients and indian spices, found in most indian pantry.This masala can be used as a base masala for other non vegetarian and vegetarian options.

Muttai Varuval is my easy everyday recipe. It is nothing but boiled eggs  golden fried and cooked in a thick and spicy onion tomato masala. Perfect side dish for the busy weekdays. I believe every household has their own version of egg roast or muttai varuval. Just like for the Kerala style egg roast we use coconut oil for making the nadan muttai roast. The heat for the egg roast is either from red chilli powder, green chillies or black pepper powder or a combination of these.

For making egg roast or egg curry we like to fry the boiled eggs and then add it to the curry or the masala. But some directly add the boiled eggs and it’s totally up to your preference. Frying the eggs makes the skin slightly blistered and golden in colour which makes the dish looks so beautiful and appealing.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

* Ready in under 30 minutes.
* Required only pantry Ingredients. This is a perfect recipe for days when you have only basics available.
* Easy and straight forward recipe. Requires no roasting and grinding. Turns out so delicious and tasty with spice masala powders.
* An easy way to add more protein to the Indian diet.
* The same masala base can be used with vegetables and non-vegetarian food too.
*  It goes with almost everything – roti, rice , chapati, parota, dosas, appams etc.

Smoked pork with bitter eggplant and dry bamboo shoot is another delectable naga style pork. It is a traditional and authentic naga smoked pork recipe. Pork with bitter eggplant and dry bamboo shoot is an easy and simple recipe with limited ingredients.

Today’s post is another naga style smoked pork preparation – pork with bitter eggplant and dry bamboo shoot. Here the pork is cooked with bitter eggplant, dry bamboo shoot water, red chillies, ginger, garlic and flavored with sichuan peppercorns.

Three of my favourite in one dish – smoked pork, bitter eggplant and dry bamboo shoot. They are like matches made in heaven. Not only that, they are just as delectable, and a popular ingredient used in Naga Cuisine and various North East Indian recipes.

You have the right ingredients in hand and no doubt you will nail the recipe with a lip-smacking dish. The star ingredient is the smoked pork here.  The interesting add-on is the eggplant and the dry bamboo shoot which lends a balancing taste and flavor to the overall dish. This non-fussy dish is simple to make but has a unique ethnic taste.

Adding tomato is optional if you are cooking with bamboo shoot water or Bamboo Shoot. If you dont have bamboo shoot water or can’t source it, you can cook with fermented bamboo shoot. And if both cannot be sourced then you can cook with tomatoes. Also I have used the small variety of bitter gourd.

Sichuan peppercorns called as mongmong jang also popularly known as mejenga seeds is a variety of chinese sichuan peppercorns. They look little similar but both are not the same in taste and flavour.

Nagas cooked the pork in many different style and variety. I love anything bitter with pork. They go very well together and lends a balanced taste. We cook pork with bitter eggplants both the small and big variety.

If you love pork and bitter eggplant than this is a must try recipe. I am sure you will love and it won’t disappoint you.

INGREDIENTS FOR SMOKED PORK WITH BITTER EGGPLANT AND DRY BAMBOO SHOOT

PORK – I have used smoked pork. If smoked pork is not available, you can substitute smoked pork for fresh pork.

DRY FERMENTED BAMBOO SHOOT – I used the thinly long shredded dry bamboo shoot. You can use any variety of dry bamboo shoots. Use fermented bamboo shoots if dry bamboo shoots are not available.

BITTER EGGPLANT – Used the large variety of bitter eggplant in this recipe. You can use the more bitter and pea size bitter eggplant (small variety bitter eggplant). If bitter eggplant is not available, substitute it with bitter gourd or brinjal (eggplant).

CHILLI –  Used local chilli powder (dry red chilli pounded into powder). For extra heat add Naga king chilli as per your heat preference. You can also soak the dry red chilli in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes. Ground it in mortar and pestle and add them.

GARLIC  – Used fresh ground garlic.

GINGER – Used the regular ginger, freshly ground in mortar and pestle. You can use the naga ginger, a different variant of ginger which is more spicy and pungent in flavor.

SICHUAN PEPPERCORNS – A variety of sichuan peppercorn which is different from the Chinese sichuan peppercorn.

SALT as per your taste

Smoked Pork With Bitter Eggplant And Dry Bamboo Shoot Recipe Video Tutorial

Step by step pictorial instructions to make smoked pork with bitter eggplant and dry bamboo shoot

Wash the dry bamboo shoot and soak them in cooking water for 5-10 minutes. Do not discard the water. You can use it while cooking.

Wash the smoked pork in warm water 2-3 times.

In a pan add in the smoked pork. Add in ground chilli or chilli flakes/powder and salt as per taste.

Add in enough hot water that the pork is emerged well in the water.

Give a quick stir and bring it to a boil. Now cover the pot and continue to cook on medium heat stirring it occasionally.

Meanwhile, in a mortar and pestle coarsely ground the ginger and garlic just to open the flavour. You don’t need to ground them into fine paste.

Dry roast the sichuan peppercorns for about a minute or until it is roasted well.

Add it to the ground ginger garlic and ground them together. You can also crush them seperately in between your palms and keep aside.

After cooking the pork for about 15 minutes add in the soaked dry bamboo shoot. You can also add in the soaked water. Add water if required and continue to cook for about 15 minutes.

Add in the bitter eggplant, give a quick mix and continue to cook for 10 to 12 minutes.

Note: I kept the bitter eggplant whole so that in the cooking process it doesn’t get mushy and stays in shape. Just gave half or cross cuts so the spices and flavor penetrates.

Add in the crushed ginger, garlic and sichuan peppercorns. Give a quick mix and cook for 2 to 3 minutes and take off the heat.

Your smoked pork with butter eggplant and dry bamboo shoot is ready. Enjoy with piping hot rice.
