Chilli Egg

Remember the ad which used to come on Doordarshan - Sunday ho ya Monday roz khao Ande. Also the hindi song 'Ande ka Funda' and Govinda dancing to the tunes, hilarious isn't it !!

This egg recipe is for one of those days when you want to wave a magic wand and get something nice to eat ...... meaning a lazy day :) Especially when you come home tired after a long day of work or even shopping !! I am still in my inertia of weekend .... trying to ignore all the extra chores around me. Well I have been in that mode for a while now .... and now I feel a little guilty for making J eat left overs and junk. To make that up I prepared Chilli Egg - super easy and fast !!

This recipe has been passed down to me from my mother who in spite of being a busy working mom never compromised on feeding us tasty and healthy food.

I hope you enjoy preparing and eating this as much as I did.

But can anyone answer the question - Which came first, the chicken or the egg ??
