Egg pepper fry is a spicy semi gravy recipe made with boiled eggs. It is a traditional south Indian Chettinad style egg masala recipe. The key ingredients for this recipe are freshly ground black pepper powder, short dry red chili and gingelly oil(Indian sesame oil).

I like to serve the egg masala with rasam sadam,paruppu sadam, and chapati. You could also include this egg pepper fry in your guest menu along with veg biryani/chicken biryani/tomato biryani.
