My family is pretty diverse when it comes to culinary tradition. Our family has of course grown in number with new members bringing in their own traditions along. My BIL is from Coorg, my eldest cousin has strong Hydrabadi roots, born in north Karnataka and lived in Kerala for close to two decades. My SIL is a tambram. So all of them have brought in their own array of delicacies. So our food spectrum has widened over the past few years. Personally, my tastes have been affected greatly by my oft traveling father and related relocation. However, the comfort food has always been what we grew up eating. That is essentially south-Kannada cuisine. Most of which are already on the blog. So instead of trying something on my own to post, I have been asking my folks to contribute their favorite recipes. Starting with my eldest cousin, he is a connoisseur of great foods. His family is known for their Hydrabadi style food. I hope this is just the beginning of a series of contribution!!
My cousin says this particular dish goes well as a party food/ finger food. Of course more so if accompanied with good Whiskey!!!! it is also a good way to start eating eggs if particularly averse to eggs.

It's wonderful to grow up with so much diversity in the family, you learn to respect other people for who they are, not just by what you hear since you know the people and their cultures! :)
Eggs looks yum, simple but very tasty and healthy. I make them too but with more spices, have one in draft. Hoping to see more and more traditional dishes here.

Eggs look yumm Smitha. I agree with Asha, you learn to respect other people for who they are when you are in multi cultural environment.
nice reading this post, I grew up in a very nationally integrated fml - an aunt from gujarat, another from TN - and it made my life that much richer.
Eggs to me are the most versatile of all foods. We love these with pepper and kala namak. Yum.
