Roasted spicy masala marinated eggs!
I made this on a Sunday as a side dish recently. Whenever I usually make chicken biryani or lamb biryani, I also boil egg or make this pepper egg roast. I found that boiled egg is too simple. However I find egg pepper roast is complicated or time-consuming for most Sundays with my other list of dishes I do. I wanted to change it. So made this. It tasted great and perfect. This takes just 20 minutes to do after you boil the eggs.
🙁 After I took the pictures, it slipped from my table by mistake. 🙁 I had to do it again :(. But wanted to make it 🙂 it looked and tasted amazing I believed. So made it again. 😉
