Egg Pulusu Recipe
Egg Pulusu is a typical South-Indian or more specifically a Telugu Dish. Pulusu simply implies a mixture of tamarind juice with salt and chilly powder. The sour taste of tamarind catches on to the boiled eggs giving it a wonderful taste. Making small slits on the sides of the eggs will ensure the 'Pulusu' penetrates the eggs giving it the desired taste. Comments/Suggestions/Feedback on this Egg Pulusu Recipe are welcome!

Garnish with some cilantro (optional)

Oh yes...adding a little dhaniya/coriander powder will surely enhance its taste. Thanks for the suggestion. I am going to include this ingredient in the recipe too.
