This is my 3rd post with eggs. As already mentioned in my previous posts, I love eggs. I purchased a small book named Muttai Samayal (Recipes with Egg). I saw this recipe in that book and it was very simple and I always love pepper flavour. So wanted to give it a try. And the result was awesome.
Ingredients:
- Eggs – 3
- Turmeric powder – 1/4tsp
- Pepper powder – 1 1/2tsp
- Salt – as needed
To saute and grind to a paste:
- Peppercorns – 1/2tsp
- Jeera – 1/2tsp
- Ginger – 1 small piece
- Garlic – 4 pearls
- Big Onion – 1 roughly chopped
- Tomato – 1 chopped
- Cinnamon – 1 small piece
- Fennel seeds – 1/4tsp
- Coconut grated – 5tsp
- Oil – 1tsp
To temper:
- Oil – 3tsp
- Mustard – 1/2 tsp
- Curry leaves – few
Method:
1. Boil the eggs and remove the shell and make 4 or 5 slits on the eggs and set aside.
2. In kadai, add a tsp of oil and saute the ingredients under roast and grind column and grind them to a paste.
3. Heat 3tsp of oil in the kadai, temper with mustard and curry leaves. Add the ground paste and add turmeric powder, pepper powder and salt and saute till raw smell leaves in low flame.
4. Add the eggs and add little water (say 1/4cup) and toss the eggs well in the masala. Simmer and wait till the masala becomes somewhat thick.
Notes:
1. You can even cut the eggs in half.
2. Freshly ground pepper powder gives a nice flavour.
