I don't know why!! But I was really admiring these coconut shells.. ;)



PREPARATION METHOD

  • In a bowl crack open eggs pour both the yolks into it. Add 2 pinches of salt, beat the eggs well and set aside. 
  • Place a wide pan (preferably nonstick) on flame and pour oil/ghee into it. After it heats up, add cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, curry leaves and let it splutter.
  • Then add chopped garlic, chopped ginger and saute, then add chopped onions and saute well. After it turns translucent add ginger garlic paste and saute. 
  • Now add chopped tomatoes, chopped coriander leaves, salt and saute well on low flame until the tomatoes turns pulpy and gets cooked well. 
  • Then add red chilli powder, garam masala and saute well. Sprinkle some water and cook until the mixture becomes like a masala. 
  • Once the raw smell leaves and the oil peeps out, using a ladle or a spoon just pull all the mixture in the pan to one side of the pan. Then pour the eggs in the other side of the pan and leave undisturbed for a while. 
  • Then when the egg starts to solidify, scramble the egg mixture with a ladle or spoon in the other side of the pan, do not mix it now with the masala. 
  • Once the egg gets almost cooked mix it up with the masala in the other side and stir well for a minute or two, until the eggs gets scrambled up and gets cooked well. 
  • Once done, pour the extracted coconut milk and cook on medium flame until you get the thick curry consistency, this just takes a few minutes. 
  • When you get the required curry consistency remove from flame and serve!!

TIP 1: You can do the same with crumbled paneer also. 

TIP 2: You can optionally scramble the eggs in a pan separately and then add it to the curry. But doing it in the same pan makes your task easier and also even more tastier. The curry would not be very dry, it should have a curry consistency. 



Makes a great combo with Pooris, Naan, Chapati, Dosa and even rice varieties!! You will definitely love this curry tastes so flavorful!!
