Mutta Surkka

Mutta Surkka or Mutta Sirkka is a fried rice and egg snack. It’s a Malabar delicacy and part of the Moplah Cuisine. Initially seeing the pictures of this snack, alongwith the name made me think they stuff a whole boiled egg inside. But then when I read the recipe I understood that the addition of egg in the batter makes it rise. It’s a very delicious snack that can be had as it is, or can be paired with spicy curries.

We mustn’t add too much water while grinding, since the batter has to be poured into hot oil. A watery batter will mean the snack won’t hold shape and it won’t rise. I made this snack thrice and I’m detailing the recipe from Nas Kitchen which helped me get really delicious and pretty looking Mutta Surkkas.
