  • Kadai / wok

Ingredients

  • 3 Eggs
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 5 chopped garlic flakes

For the gravy:

  • 4 tablespoon grated coconut
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 marble sized ball of tamarind
  • 3 dry red chilies
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Grind together freshly grated coconut, coriander seeds, dry red chilies, tamarind and turmeric powder by adding ½ cup water.
    Add more water if needed while grinding. Ensure that the coconut is finely ground.
  • Heat a kadai/wok, add oil. After the oil gets heated add onion and fry till it turns pinkish.

Break the egg from top of the curry and just drop it in the curry. Then with a spoon add hot curry on the egg yolk so that it gets cooked in the hot curry.
