Egg Podimas is a simple egg stir fry made with eggs and onions. I like this Muttai poriyal very much and it comes to my rescue when I had no veggies at home and not in a mood to cook. It tastes too good and filling too. It goes well with rice but can be very well paired up with Chapati/Roti as well. Kids will love this stir fry and it is one of the few ways to make them eat eggs. But be sure to exclude green chilies while making for kids.
Let’s check how to make this easy stir fry with eggs.
