Egg fry/ Kodiguddu Porutu/Egg Porutu

Egg porutu is one of those simple Andhra dishes. In jus matter of mins, this delicious yummy yummy egg fry will be ready. All it takes to prepare this egg porutu is -- onion for consistency, green chili for a special flavor, which comes  when it is combined with egg, a group of spices for authentic Indian taste. 

It is another simple dish that i prepare when i am not in a mood of cooking or as a second curry for some pulusu or gravy curries or, most of the times as an Sunday night fry.   Hash browns fry n egg porutu makes my day simple n relaxed. I am not  a big fan of egg, especially egg white. I used to eat jus yellow, when it is an egg curry. So my mom always make my egg as an omelette or egg porutu, so that i can get all the nutrients.
