Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Hard-boil the eggs (or beat them, for omelette-style), peel and halve; a light dusting of turmeric and salt helps them fry without spitting.

  2. 2

    Golden the eggs in hot oil — those blistery patches carry flavour.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, fry onions till golden, add ginger garlic paste, tomato and the ground spices; bhunao till the oil separates.

  4. 4

    Add the eggs back with the grated coconut and a splash of water; simmer five minutes so they drink the masala.

  5. 5

    Scatter the curry leaves, cilantro and a squeeze of lemon over the top.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
