One of my friends invited us to dinner and made this Coconut, Egg fry. She served it with sambar. It was delicious and reminded me of the coconut, chana dal fry my mom used to make back home. Now, the recipe....
Ingredients:
For popu/tadka:
Chana dal - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Split urad dal - 1 tsp
Curry Leaves
Oil - 1 tbsp
For the actual recipe:
Eggs - 4
Grated coconut - 4 cups
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Green chillies - 10 (depends on how spicy you want it)
Salt to taste
Method:
1. Boil the eggs and peel the skin. While boiling eggs, you might want to put a drop of oil just to make the peeling easier).
2. Heat oil in a frying pan. Put chana dal, mustard seeds, urad dal and cumin seeds. Now add green chillies.The key to this recipe is a good popu/tadka and the chillies should be fried well.
3. Add curry leaves, grated coconut and turmeric. Don't put too much oil to fry. This will make the coconut crispy and it doesn't taste good. Try to fry the coconut with very less oil. I have used my Cookplus ceramic frying pan from Lock N Lock.
4. Fry the coconut untill the raw smell is gone and then add eggs. Fry for a couple of minutes on medium flame. Serve this with rice and sambar.
Note: If you are a vegetarian, replace eggs with pressure cooked chana dal.
