When garlic turns light brown, add onions and roast them till they turn light brown
When Onions become light brown, add tomatoes and roast till the tomatoes get completely cooked

Allow the masala mixture to cool down. In the meanwhile we can shallow fry the eggs. Heat 3 tbspoon oil in the pan and add eggs to the pan
Note:
a) Ensure oil is not overheated while shallow frying the eggs
b) Make small cuts on the eggs before frying.
While eggs are getting fried, make a coarse masala paste from roasted mixture and roasted dry coconut.
