Udaitha Muttai Kuzhambu!
 Ingredients:
  • Eggs - 4-5 nos
  • Sesame Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Urad Dhal - 1 tsp
  • Curry leaves - few
  • Red chiily, broken - 1 no
  • Salt - to taste
  • Water - as required
  • Coriander leaves - for garnishing
To Saute and Grind:
  • Oil - 1 tsp
  • Small Onions - 8-10 nos 
  • Garlic - 4-5 cloves
  • Ginger - a small piece
  • Tomato, chopped - 1 no
  • Fennel seeds - 1 tsp
  • Cinnamon - a small stick
  • Cloves - 3 nos
  • Poppy seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Curry Masala Powder (Home made) - 1 tbsp*
  • Fresh Coconut - 1/2 cup
*Home made Curry / Kuzhambu Masala powder is already spicy so I didnt add any Red chilly powder; If we dont have the Masala Powder we can replace it with Coriander and Chilly powder

Method:
  1. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan, add small onions followed by garlic and ginger, saute for few mins 
  2. Add the roughly chopped tomatoes and saute for another few mins till the tomato gets well sauted and raw smell goes off
  3. Once the tomato gets cooked, reduce the flame to low and add cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, poppy seeds and saute for a min. Then add Curry Masala powder, turmeric powder and give a quick mix and switch off
  4. Allow the mixture to cool down and then grind with fresh coconut into a paste

  5. Heat Sesame oil in a pan, once it gets hot add the mustard seeds, followed by Urad dhal, Curry leaves, red chilly and fry till dhal turns golden brown
  6. Add the ground paste and saute for 1-2 mins
  7. Add required water and salt; allow to boil for around 6-7 mins in medium flame
  8. Break an egg into a laddle or small bowl (this is just to check the quality of the eggs) and slowly add it to the Kuzhambu. Repeat the same for all the eggs

  9. Make sure not to mix at this stage; reduce the flame to low and cook covered for 10 mins
  10. By this time, the egg will get completely cooked; swiych off and garnish with coriander leaves
  11. This goes well with Plain rice, Idly & Dosai
