ABOUT Egg Sambar / Motte saru RECIPE

Egg in coconut and spices paste. Authentic Karnataka style motte saru. My grandmother recipe, given a twist of Kasuri methi...

Ingredients Serving: 5

5 eggs
Little Kasuri methi
1 teaspoon Salt / as per taste
Water to reach sambar consistency
For tempering:
2 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoon onion finely chopped
To grind:
1/2 coconut grated
1/2 inch cinnamon
6 cloves
1/2 inch ginger
10 - 12 Garlic pods
2 medium onions diced
2 medium tomatoes diced
1 tablespoon red chilli powder
1 tablespoon Coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric

Instructions

Grind all the ingredients under section "to grind" into a smooth paste and keep aside.
Tempering: In a vessel, add little oil. Heat it on a low flame. Add in finely chopped onions. Fry for a minute.
Now add the grinded paste, enough water and bring to boil. Raise the flame to medium and allow the spice to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Once the spice is cooked well, add in required salt to taste. Check for seasoning and adjust if required.
Lower the flame and on other side, in a bowl crack an egg and very slowly drop it into the sambar on one side.
Crack another egg in a bowl and drop it into the Sambar on a different side. Make sure you won't drop the egg in the same place. (you won't get an whole egg). Add in eggs as much as you want.
Add in Kasuri methi. Allow it to boil for 5 to 7 minutes.
Note: once the eggs are dropped, do not use the ladle to mix it. Or else eggs will break up and become burji. DO NOT MIX UNTIL THE EGGS ARE COOKED FULLY.
Serve it with puri or chapati or rice and enjoy.
