Chilly Egg - wholesome side

This dish, I usually make when I am bored making the regular egg-curry. It is easy and quick to make. And tastes very good with rice or chapati.

Chilly Egg

1. Boil 4 eggs
2. Cut 1/2 onion, 1/2 capsicum in dice sized pieces
3. Cut 6-7 green chillies in splits, 1 inch ginger julliens and 1 tomato

Steps
4. De-shell the eggs and fry them in oil. Remember to fork the eggs with sharp knife before putting the eggs in the oil
3. Take them out and put on a tissue paper to dry off access oil
5. In the same wok, stir the ginger. Add onion and stir fry for a minute or two.
6. Next add Capsicum and stir fry for another minute
7. Put 1/2 tspn of turmeric, 1/2 tspn of chilly powder and stir fry the vegetables.
8. Next add the tomatoes and cover the lid of the wok for a minute or until the vegetable soften.
9. Add 2 tspn of soya sauce and 1 tspn of shreerancha sauce (Thai hot sauce). The later is optional.
10. Mix the eggs with the vegetables and stir for another 2 minutes.

Chilly Eggs is ready - This cannot go wrong - whichever way you make it!

Additional Tips
1. To make the gravy thicker, add to 1/2 a glass of water 2 tspn of corn flour. Mix well and pour on the grave. Simmer for sometime, till the gravy thickens.
2. You can replace the eggs with paneer, cottage cheese, cauliflowers, potatoes, koftas.
