Step by step pics and description of making the egg masala fry recipe:
boil 5 large eggs with salt. peel and chop them to pieces along with yolk.
boil red chillies and garlic in very little water for 2-3 minutes or until the red chillies are soft. grind to smooth paste. use the water used for boiling to grind the chilli paste.
heat coconut oil in a pan and add the red chilli paste to it. along with it, add coriander powder, pepper powder, cumin powder, fennel seeds powder, garam masala and meat masala. meat masala is optional, skip if you do not have it. fry the masala in low heat until it thickens for about 2 minutes.
need not fry too much. just for a couple of minutes until water used for grinding leaves out and the masala thickens.
heat coconut oil in a separate pan and drop red chillies and fry for half a minute. now add curry leaves and fry again until crisp.
further, add coconut pieces. coconut pieces can be cut like this in this pic like we cut for payasam or make thin strips like in chicken pallipalayam. its up to your choice. both will taste good. fry till it is slightly brown.
add chopped onions and chopped shallots in equal quantity or you can simply replace with just shallots/small onions. also add ginger garlic paste and fry till raw smell goes off and onions are brown.
add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder and fry till mushy.
at this point, add the prepared chilli masala and mix well. add salt and fry for few seconds.
add little water and let it boil until you get a saucy consistency.
drop the chopped eggs into it. mix gently and leave it for 2 minutes in simmer so that masala gets in with the flavor of egg.
serve fresh with rice or roti or as a starter.
