I grew up as a vegetarian. Occasionally I take eggs, an exception in my vegetarian diet 😉 . I do add them in baking. My hubby doesn’t mind eating eggs often as it is a good source of protein. But I can only make Indian style egg gravy and don’t know many options with egg. This was one of his recipes which I learnt. He makes it much spicier than I do 😉 So a recipe from my hubby’s book 🙂

Ingredients:

Eggs: 6

Method:

  • Break eggs and whisk well in a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a pan. When hot add mustard seeds, urad dal.
  • When it crackles, add curry leaves. When it splutters, add chopped onions, green chili, ginger.
  • Add turmeric powder and mix. Keep the heat in low medium.

  • At one stage, egg gets cooked and you can touch and see the soft fluffy eggs.

You can vary with red chili powder. Taste changes a bit different. It can served with bread for breakfast as well.
