To begin making the Srilankan Style Fried Egg Curry Recipe, heat a saucepan with required amount of water. The quantity of water depends on the number of eggs you want to boil. Add water so that all the eggs are dipped under it properly.
Put the eggs in water and cook till you see some cracks on the outer layer of the eggs. This will take form 10 to 15 minutes. Once you see the cracks, switch off the stove and take the eggs out. Let them cool down.
Once the eggs cooled down, take out the outer shelf and keep the eggs aside.
Heat a flat skillet with 2 tablespoons oil. Once the oil is hot, add boiled egg and fry it evenly till it is golden brown from all the sides. Once done keep it aside.
In the same pan, add cinnamon stick, cardamom, clove and allow it to sizzle for few seconds.
Add curry leaves and leave it to crackle for few seconds. Add ginger and garlic and cook it for about 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes, add onions and saute till they soften. Once the onions have caramelized, add chopped tomatoes and sprinkle with little salt to cook it faster.
Once the tomatoes turn mushy, add all the spice powders including corainder powder, garam masala powder, red chilli flakes, fennel seeds, salt to taste and let it cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Next, add coconut milk at the end and you can also add 1/2 a cup of water to adjust the consistency. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes and drop in the fried egg and serve hot with chopped coriander leaves.
