this recipe is adapted from one of my dear friend Suganya who taught me this recipe when i was in Bangalore. weekends it was very usual routine to gather at one place and cook lunch or dinner together. When she had come to my home for dinner. We prepared this curry for chapathi and it was superbly delicious that i documented it immediately though i dint take decent pics of the curry. now almost after 1.5 years, i made it again, i shot the video and pics and updating this recipe.

Udaitha Muttai Kulambu – step wise description:
- in a blender, take roughly chopped onions, tomatoes, coconut and garlic cloves.
- along with this, add cinnamon, cloves, ginger, green chilli, fennel seeds, peppercorns
- grind all these to a smooth paste and keep it ready
- heat coconut oil in a pan and add fennel seeds, curry leaves and let it sizzle.
- finely chopped onions and finely chopped tomatoes are added together. just mix well. need not saute onions till brown. it gets cooked well along with the gravy.
- add the spice powders: turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder and cumin powder.
mix well and fry for half a minute on high heat. tomatoes and onions will be cooked and gets mushy by now.
- freshly prepared masala is added and fry this for a minute so that it shrinks slightly and combines well.
- now add water, salt to taste and mix well.
- close and cook in medium heat for 5-10 minutes until you see oil on sides of the gravy.
- this stage is perfectly done gravy. it is thin as well as oil leaves the sides.
- break an egg into a bowl carefully not to break the yellow yolk. you can directly break it over the gravy but yellow might break or pieces of shell might fall into gravy. so practice this method.
- drop the egg into the gravy carefully and slowly.
- repeat the process to drop 5 eggs. (that was a twin egg to my surprise :))
- sprinkle salt, pepper powder and chilli powder. if you do not add spice powders over eggs, eggs might taste bland.
- close and cook in simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the eggs are cooked.
- open and sprinkle chopped coriander leaves. serve hot with chapathi.
