Living amidst Egg-Lovers, its been long on my mind to try some new dish with eggs. Personally, I eat eggs rarely and only selected preparation of it.
Sunday, when I had an ardent egg lover for lunch, thought of attempting a different preparation rather than the usual boil, burji (scrambled egg), or egg curry. Ended up making a spicy fried egg masala dish, that I saw in another food blog.
Ingredients:
- Boiled Eggs : 4 (for this dish, you will be slicing an egg into two halves)
- Onion : 1 small or medium sized, diced lengthwise
- Jeera Powder : 1 tspn
- Coriander Powder : 1/2 tspn (or 1)
- Chilli Powder : 1 - 1.5 tspn (as spicy as you like)
- Oil : 1 tbspn
- Kasoori Methi : 1/2 tspn
- Garam Masala : 1-2 pinch
- Mixed herbs : 1/2 tspn
- Curry Leaves : to taste
- Salt : to taste
Method:
- Boil the eggs, peel them and slice into two halves each
- In a non stick pan (kadai), add oil.
- As it heats up, add onion. Fry it to light golden color
- To this add all spices and salt
- On a side of the pan, pour a spoon of oil and slightly fry the eggs both sides. They should turn light golden (you can also fry it separately and keep it ready)
- Then mix the masalas with the egg. add kasoori methi and dried herbs, and allow it to cook for a minute
- Remove from fire and serve it as Starters, Side Dish for Roti or with Rice
