Kodi Guddu Pulusu is a delicious and authentic Andhra style Egg Curry where hard-boiled eggs are cooked in an onion-tomato gravy.

Pulusu means a tamarind-based curry dish and in this recipe, hard-boiled eggs are cooked in a tamarind, onion and tomato based gravy. The eggs are cut into two halves (or slit) and cooked in the gravy. The whole dish can be garnished with fresh coriander leaves and cumin powder.

The dish is named after the cooking pot (“kodi”) which is heated and boiled by charcoal (“guddu”). The cooked ingredients are then poured over the rice and eaten with curry. Tamarind juice can be replaced by lemon juice if tamarind juice cannot be found.

It is best served with rice or as a side dish with dosa, idli or roti.
