Egg with Coconut Milk

This is a recipe I tried out from Laavanya's Cooker Corner with very slight modifications. And here is how it turned out. I had long ago put up a recipe where I have used coconut masala - but this uses coconut milk and the picture looked so good I had to try it. And it did turn out well.

Ingredients

Hard boiled eggs - 2 nos, cut in half

Tomato purée - 4 -5 tbsps

Onion - 1 medium - slice

Coconut milk - 20 ml ( if ready coconut milk is not available, grind 1/4 coconut with little water and extract the milk from the paste by straining it through a sieve)

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp

Garam masala powder - 1/4 tsp

Chili powder - 1/2 tsp or acc to taste

Pepper powder - acc to taste

Oil - 1 tbsp

Mustard - 1/2 tsp

Salt - to taste

Curry leaves - few

Coriander leaves - for garnish

Make a paste of the powders - turmeric, coriander, chili, pepper, garam masala in little water and keep.

Take a wok, add the oil.

Add mustard, once it splutters add curry leaves.

Add the sliced onion and saute.

Add tomato puree, and the mixed paste of the powders.

Add a little water and allow to cook awhile.

Add the egg.

And the coconut milk - simmer for 2-3 minutes- do not cook on high flame.

Add salt.

Remove from fire.

Garnish and serve.
