- Fry the eggs till the masala is coated well on all sides, dont fry for long.Add the fried egg to the masala and simmer to for 2mins for the masala to blend well. Then add coriander leaves and switch off.
My Notes:
- I wanted more gravy so added tomatoes while grinding.
- It serves as a best accompaniment for rasam / sambar too. Or you can have the gravy with rice too.
- This is little on the spicy side so adjust red chillies according to your spice level.
- Dont fry the eggs for long else it will turn rubbery and thats y I roasted it during the last stage.
