30 min total3 servings
Ingredients
- Egg - 2 whole
- Potato - 2 whole
- Onion - 2 whole
- Tomato - 1 whole
- Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
- Kashmiri chili powder - 1 tsp
- Green chili - 2 whole
- Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
- Grated coconut - 1 cup
- Ginger - 1/2 tsp
- Garlic - 4 clove
- Cinnamon - 1 piece
- Clove - 2 clove
- Coriander powder - 1 tsp
- Water - 1 cup
- Curry leaves
- Pepper powder
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- 1Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, then boil until tender; drain and set aside.
- 2Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the grated coconut until it is golden brown and fragrant, then transfer the coconut to a grinder.
- 3Add the fried coconut to the grinder with ginger, garlic, cinnamon, clove, coriander powder and 1 cup water, and grind to a smooth paste.
- 4Pour the coconut-spice paste into a pan, add the cubed boiled potatoes, and boil together briefly so the potatoes soak up the flavors; keep the mixture warm.
- 5In a separate skillet, heat oil and add the mustard seeds; when they begin to pop, add curry leaves and the green chilies to release their aroma.
- 6Add the chopped onion, sliced tomato, turmeric powder and Kashmiri chili powder to the skillet and fry for a short while until the onion softens and the tomatoes break down.
- 7Break the eggs into the pan and scramble them gently into the spiced onion-tomato mixture until they are cooked through but still soft.
- 8Stir the coconut-potato mixture into the scrambled eggs, cover, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors marry.
- 9Sprinkle pepper powder to taste and garnish with a few curry leaves before serving.
- 10Optional: serve with roti prata or your favorite Indian bread, and add a wedge of lemon if you like a bright finish.
