Ingredients
2 ridge gourd
6 eggs
1 onion, finely chopped
4 green chilies, finely chopped
½ inch ginger, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon garam masala powder
½ teaspoon pepper powder
1 tablespoon oil + 2 tablespoon oil
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Method
- Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a wok. Break 6 eggs into hot oil. Sprinkle some salt and pepper powder. Fry until eggs are cooked and slightly crisped. Remove from oil and keep aside.
- Lightly peel the sharp edged skin on ridge gourd. You can just leave it as it also, but I prefer to remove the sharp edges as I don’t like the bite of the edges. Chop the gourd into small pieces.
- Into the same pan add 1 tablespoon oil. Add cumin seeds and lit it crackle. Fry onions, ginger and green chilies until onions turns pink.
- Add the spice powder(except for garam masala) and mix well.
- Add ridge gourd and sauté. Cook until the ridge gourd is fully cooked. It takes very less time to cook and you don’t need to add any water for the vegetable to get cooked. The gourd releases it’s own moisture and cooks in it.
- Once the gourd is fully cooked, add the fried eggs and give it a mix. Turn off flame, add garam masala and mix. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
