Egg Crispy Podi Fry is a finger licking recipe from my mother-in-law. This simple and easy to make side dish goes well as a snack, or as a side dish with any meal. “Podi” means powder in Tamil.
I generally hard-boil half a dozen eggs over the weekend and keep them in the fridge and make this dish whenever we crave for it.
