Easy Frittata Recipe of Tender Coconut
Our easy frittata recipe is inspired by the Kalaki of Tamil Nadu. We borrowed notes from the best Kalakees and built an easy frittata recipe of our own. Kalaki is a medium done omelette spiced by a thimble of madras curry. In spite of having our own version of madras curry, we decided against using it to make this frittata. We were adamant about giving a unique identity to our easy frittata recipe. We are happy to have made this decision. This frittata tastes great. Trust us, we don’t exaggerate.
Tender coconut flesh adds a smooth texture to this frittata, whereas the sugars in raisins balance the heat. Our easy frittata recipe will yield 6 slices, with 180 kilo calories in each. You will need the following ingredients to make our easy frittata recipe,
