Fried Egg Sambal
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp light cooking oil
- 4 large eggs
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2-3 large garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1 medium onion finely sliced
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 medium tomatoes finely chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp tamarind paste
Instructions
- Heat a few drops of oil in a non-stick pan, and fry the eggs one after the other seasoned lightly with salt and pepper, till crisp along the edges. Set aside.
- Add in the remaining oil in the pan and saute garlic and onions till soft and lightly browned. Add in the spices and fry for a few seconds.
- Throw in chopped tomatoes, season with salt and fry for a few minutes. Add in tomato paste and tamarind paste, and continue to fry, breaking up tomatoes till it starts to dry out and give out oil from the sides.
- Slowly slide in the fried eggs, and carefully mix them with the tomato mixture to coat, without breaking the egg. Allow to heat through for a few minutes and serve warm.
Notes
Use a pan large enough to cook the entire dish, since it makes it much easier to clean up. Personally I prefer using a wok to get perfectly round fried eggs.
