Ingredients
1. Eggs – 5, hard-boiled (Boil eggs for about 12 – 13 minutes. Rinse under cold running water. Shell, make a few slits and set aside.)
2. Onion – 2 medium, thinly sliced (Makes about 2 – 2.5 cups, thinly sliced)
Ginger – 2 – 2.5 tsp, thinly sliced
Green chilies – 3 – 4, slit
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
3. Tomato – 1 small, sliced or chopped
4. Coconut milk, thin – 1 cup
5. Thick coconut milk – 1/4 – 1/2 cup
6. Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder – 1 tsp or to taste (Recipe below)
7. Crushed black pepper – 1/4 – 1/2 tsp
8. Coconut oil – 1.5 tbsp
Mustard seeds – 1/4 – 1/2 tsp
Dried red chilies – 2, broken
9. Salt – To taste
Method
Heat oil in a deep pan / cheena chatti. Splutter mustard seeds and fry dry red chilies. Add sliced onion and little salt. Fry for a few minutes and add ginger, green chilies and curry leaves. Continue sautéing until onion turns soft and light golden. Bring down the heat and add turmeric powder and garam masala powder. Sauté for a minute and add chopped tomato. Cook for a few minutes. Add thin coconut milk. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring in between. Check for salt. Add thick coconut milk, curry leaves and crushed pepper. Mix well and add the boiled eggs. Cook for 1 minute over low heat. Add a pinch of garam masala powder if required. Switch off. It goes very well with idiyappam and palappam/kalappam.
