These delicious spiced eggs are an easy, quick meal for one, but can be scaled up to suit a larger group as well.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) diced onions
- 6 to 8 curry leaves (optional)
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) salt
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) cayenne
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) ground coriander
- Pinch turmeric
- 2 eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Cilantro and green chilies, for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and curry leaves (if using). Sauté until the edges of the onions turn golden brown.
- Step 2
Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt, cayenne, coriander, and turmeric to the pan. Continue to cook over medium heat until any liquid mostly evaporates and the spice paste gets a sheen on top.
- Step 3
Use your cooking utensil to make two wells in the mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the pan and cook on low for 1 to 3 minutes until the eggs are cooked as desired.
- Step 4
Season with additional salt, if desired. Garnish with cilantro and green chilies. Serve hot with toast or a paratha, if desired.
