Masala Egg

Just a 5 min makeover will make the boring hardboiled eggs into a gorgeous gourmet. Offlate this is my son's favorite.

• Hardboil 4 eggs for about 17 mins
• Deshell and cut them in halves as shown above
• Fine grind 3 pearl onions, 3 garlic cloves
• To the paste, add 1/2tsp red chilly powder, 1/2tsp coriander powder, 1/4 tsp curry powder, 1/4tsp garam masala powder, turmeric powder, salt per taste. Mix them all well and set aside
• In a pan, heat 1 tsp of oil and saute 4 finely chopped pearl onions, the ground paste and saute well in low flame
• Optional: Saute a handful of leafy green cabbage (finely sliced)
• Add 1/4 small tomato (finely chopped) (or 1tsp of tomato paste)
• When it is well cooked, place the egg halves over the masala so that the yolks touch the bottom of the pan
• Alternatively, you can chop the eggs into small chunks instead of halves like here
• Leave them for 3 to 4 mins on low flame
• Move the eggs carefully around the pan so the masala doesnt stick to the bottom from time to time
• Slightly coat the egg whites with the masala using the spatula while it cooks
• Remove the eggs and garnish with coriander leaves and serve as a side
