Egg in peanut-tomato sauce
Before I forget what I experimented in my lunch today
, let me write it down.

Ingredients:
1. Eggs: 2
2. Garlic (crushed): 2
3. Onion (big, chopped): 2
4. Tomato (De-seeded, Chopped): 2
5. Ginger: 1/2 inch piece
6. Garlic pods: 5
7. Peanuts: 1/4 cup
8. Dry Masalas: Turmeric powder (1/4 tsp) + cumin powder (1/2 tsp) + coriander powder (1/2 tsp)
9. Garam masala: A pinch
10. Oil
11. Salt to taste
12. Chopped coriander leaves
13. Butter (Optional): 1/2 tsp
Serves: 2
Method:
- Fry onion in medium flame until soft and little brownish. Add the tomatoes and fry until mushy and the mixture is uniform. Roast the peanuts in a little oil. Make a paste of the above fried onion-tomato mix and peanuts along with a piece of ginger and garlic cloves. Keep aside.
- Now heat oil. Fry the eggs and keep aside. To the same oil, add crushed garlic and the dry masalas and fry for about half a minute on low flame. Take care not to burn it.
- Pour the previously prepared paste in the oil and mix well. Add the eggs, salt to taste, and a pinch of garam masala. Close the vessel and cook for around 6-7 minutes on medium flame stirring occasionally. You can put a half teaspoon of butter for extra yummy taste.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and have it with rice or roti. Enjoy
This looks absolutely delicious! What a fabulous twist to a bog standard egg curry…
