Prep 9 min Cook 20 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1/2 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely chopped
  • Tomato2, chopped
  • Green Chili1-2
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oil2 tbsp

  • Poppy Seeds1 tsp

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

    Fry the eggs in a little oil till the surfaces take on colour and crisp.

  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 coconut milk and a splash of water; simmer five minutes so they drink the masala.

  5. 5

    Finish with garam masala, cilantro and lemon; serve hot with roti, rice or buttered toast.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
