Lets get to the recipe, to be frank I had no idea about the outcome of this before cooking. Kept adding ingredients on the go. Just wanted it different from the usual thokku or kozhambu varieties. Yeah - this version worked too :). My crazy-for-eggs husband just added another variety to his list.. He just felt this will be best for naan or paratha rather than dosa which I served him with.
Ingredients:
Boiled Eggs - 4 no's
Onion - 1-1/2 cups (finely chopped)
Tomato - 2/3 cup (finely chopped)
Green chilli - 3 no's
Garlic - 2 pods
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Oil - 2 + 2 tablespoons
Fennel seeds - 1 teaspoon
Cashewnut(Full) - 10 no's
Chilli powder - 1-1/2 teaspoons
Coriander powder - 1-1/2 tablespoons
Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
Mint leaves - 12 no's
Coriander leaves - 12 no's
Salt - as needed
Water - 1/2 cup
