Not that egg curry isn't good; but on a recent lunch to a friend's place, I discovered another way of preparing egg. Its tangy, spicy and dry that can compliment any gravy dish.

Ingredients:

• Eggs - 4 - 6 nos.
• Ginger - Garlic paste - 1 and 1/2 tsp
• Tomato - 1 no. finely chopped
• Onion - 1 no. finely chopped
• Black pepper corns - 4-5 nos.
• Curry leaves - 8 - 10 nos.
• Green chilies - 2-3 nos. slit
• Chili powder - 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder- 1 tsp
• Coriander powder -1 tps
• Salt to taste
• Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp

Method:

1. Boil the eggs and remove the shell and keep aside.

2. Heat oil, add curry leaves and green chilies and saute for a few minutes.

3. Add the onions and brown them and then add the ginger - garlic paste.

4. Now add the tomatoes and cook well. Add all the masalas now.

5. Slit the eggs and add them to this mixture and cook well, till they brown.

6. Sprinkle garam masala powder and mix well before serving hot with rice and daal.
