Kerala style Nadan Egg Roast

Here I am after a long summer break.I hope all of you had good fun too.Its school time again and boy is it hot!!!Yesterday my LM came back looking like a tomato her cheeks were red because of the heat.It is very important to keep them hydrated and also nutritious food.Eggs are always high priority on the check list to good food.Not to forget they are super easy to cook and makes a delicious meal everytime.

I actually had a few drafts ready to be posted during my break but i just couldn't manage to do it.We've been back for a few days now and I'm still in snooze mode not ready to get into routine work(blame the heat).We had a good shower last night and the weather is not sticky hope we have some more showers.This recipe as a matter of fact all egg recipes remind me of my good friend Vidya who is always looking for new ways to improve her dishes.Simple easy tricks but takes the dish a whole new level.The hint of coconut milk is Vidya's trick here and works like magic.
