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

Onion : 1/2 of a large chopped

Green Chili : 2 small chopped finely

Ginger : a small piece crushed

Turmeric Powder : a generous pinch

Pepper Powder : 1 teaspoon

Oil : 1 1/2 teaspoon

Mustard Seeds : 1/4 teaspoon

Urad Dal : 1/4 teaspoon

Curry Leaves : Few

Cilantro Leaves : Few

Salt : as needed

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.
Saute well for 2 mins.
Now add pepper powder, salt and saute for 2 more mins.
Now add the whisked eggs.
Mix well, make sure heat is in low medium.
Keep cooking until eggs combines well.
At one stage, egg gets cooked and you can touch and see the soft fluffy eggs.
Stop and add cilantro leaves.
Do not cook more time eggs may turn rubbery.
Goes well with rice. I served with rasam rice 🙂
