“Chicken or Egg, which came first?” is referred as a ‘Casualty of Dilemma’ which has not been answered yet! As a foodie, I believe, Its futile to seek an answer for this ancient philosophical question. Why should we try to single out any one of them, when we can make some of the most delightful and scrumptious preparations by using chickens and eggs.

Indians take eggs very seriously. In fact egg is one of the most versatile ingredient that exists in Indian food cuisine.A whole gamut of preparations exists in Indian cuisine, starting from egg pakora in starters,egg paratha, egg omelettes in breakfast or snacks, egg biryani in rice preparation, egg curry in gravy and even traditional Parsi dessert like Eeda Paak”!!!

The recipe that I am sharing today is my family’s favorite and one of the recipes that I prepare too often for them. I am sharing “Fried Egg Masala”, a form of thick Indian egg gravy. I add eggs, in the gravy after shallow frying them which gives them an extra crunch and makes this gravy different from egg drop or other egg gravies!!

Instructions
  1. We must dry roast dessicated coconut, until it turns golden brown
  2. When coconut acquires golden brown color, remove it into a plate
  3. Heat 1 tbspoon oil in a pan. Add garlic and ginger to the pan and roast until the garlic turns light brown
  4. When garlic turns light brown, add onions and roast them till they turn light brown

  6. When Tomatoes are cooked, add fresh coriander and mix them well. Turn off the flame
  7. 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
  8. Note:
