Quail eggs or the kaada mutta has 4 times nutritious value than a chicken eggs or duck eggs. It has lots of health properties in them like it increase your immune and memory, cures cough and asthma, balance cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, prevents chronic diseases and many more. The long list of minerals and proteins found in these tiny little eggs :)
On my current visit to kerala, I tasted boiled quail eggs for the first time in one of my cousin's place and I really loved it. The taste was pretty much like the normal eggs. The outer appearance and the size just nailed me. The very next day, I was lucky enough to see my nieces bought few eggs for me to take back to my home. I wish I get those eggs here in Mglore :( ....
Back to my dish, These Quail egg pepper roast is a great side dish which is very popular in Kerala. It is a flavourful pepper based masala that can goes well with any of your favourite main course. I added Soya sause in my recipe as I would say thats one of my secret ingredients that not only makes the dish delicious but look wise it look more appealing and dark. My daughter likes to have like a snack ..hahah .....

1/2 tsp Turmeric pd

METHOD
