Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm the oil in a kadhai until it ripples, then crackle the whole spices for a few seconds.

  2. 2

    Add the Eggs and brown it well, resisting the urge to stir too often — colour is flavour.

  3. 3

    Stir in Ghee and Garlic, softening them into the spiced oil.

  4. 4

    Season, add a splash of water, and simmer covered until the Eggs is tender and the sauce has thickened.

  5. 5

    Uncover and raise the heat for the last two minutes to reduce the masala until it clings to the Eggs.

  6. 6

    Rest for five minutes off the heat, garnish with coriander, and serve with bread or rice.

Chef's tip

Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
