14.Cilantro               -             for garnishing

 

 

Method:

* Cook rice with a spoon of oil and cool it on a plate.This avoids the rice from sticking together.

* Take  a pan,add oil and splutter with fennel seeds and curry leaves.

* Add chopped onion,green chillies and sprinkle some salt.Add ginger garlic paste and saute it.

* When the ginger garlic paste is sauteed well,add turmeric powder,chilli powder and combine well.

 

* When the raw smell is eliminated,add tomato and cook it.

* Once the mixture attains semi-gravy consistancy,break the eggs .Don't disturb them untill they are cooked.If not we will not be able to get good pieces of eggs.Once the eggs are cooked,slightly mix them.

* Now add the cooked rice and give it a toss.Adjust salt to taste.Garnish with cilantro.

Notes:
* Adding oil while cooking the rice makes it non sticky.Make sure the rice is cooled well,if not there are chances for the rice to get collapsed.
* While adding eggs,don't disturb them for 2 to 3 minutes,if not eggs will be scrambled into tiny bits.
* Spice level can be altered according to your taste.
* Tomato should be added very little,if not,it would make the gravy watery.
