Stir Fried Masala Eggs

 

I am a die hard fan of egg and love it in any form except rawand always love to try different egg recipes. I always wonder how egg alone tastes so good. This is one such lip smacking recipe which I got from the book “500 saiva asaiva samayal” (500 varieties of veg and non veg recipes) by Ms. Shanthi Thanigachalam.

This recipe is very easy and the taste was so good. Apologies if the pictures are not very clear. I didn't have my camera at that time so, shot it with my mobile.

Ingredients:

1. Eggs – 2
2. Coconut milk – 1/2 cup
3. Turmeric powder – 1/4tsp
4. Chilli powder –1/4tsp
5. Coriander powder – 1/4 tsp
6. Big onion – 1 finely chopped
7. Tomato – 2 small finely chopped
8. Green chillies – 1 chopped
9. Salt – as needed
10. Oil – 1tsp

To grind coarsely:

1. Peppercorns- 1/4tsp
2. Fennel seeds – 1/2tsp

 

Method:

1. Boil the eggs till cooked and cut each egg vertically into 4.

2. Grind the fennel and peppercorns to coarse powder.

3. Mix the fennel and pepper powder, chilli powder,turmeric and coriander powders,salt,green chilli with the coconut milk. Set aside.

4. Heat kadai, add 1/2tsp of oil and saute the onion until translucent keep it separate.

5. Again heat the same kadai, add the coconut milk mixture and tomato and keep covered with lid. Once it comes to a boil add the onion and eggs. Now keep in medium low flame and wait till a thick consistency is reached. Garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.

Serve hot!. We had it with briyani. It would taste good with roti also.
