Fried Gram	2 cups
Elachi	2 Nos.
Sugar	1 cup
Ghee	1/2 cup

METHOD:
     In a mixie jar, add 2 cups of fried gram, 2 elachies and sugar 1 cup. Powder it finely. Once done, heat 1/2 cups of ghee in a pan, add the powdered mixture and let the powder mix well with the ghee. Let it be in flame until the mixture becomes warm. Put off the flame. Make it as lemon sized roundels.

Egg Bhurji

     I love Egg in whatever form it is, except the Boiled One. When my kid is not at home, i dont feel like cooking. So, just thought of trying different recipe for our lunch break with the 4 eggs i had in my fridge. While preparing, i was bit scared whether the eggs will end up in a disaster when the preparation method goes wrong. Just for a safer side, prepared the Poriyal using only 2 eggs and added remaining 2 eggs as boiled. Wow ! it tastes and smells so good. As it is a dry recipe, i prefer to take this with Roti and Chapathi, instead of having with steamed rice.



INGREDIENTS
Egg - 2 Nos.
Chopped Onion - 3 Nos.
Chopped Tomato - 1 No.
Finely Chopped Ginger - 1/2 Inch
Finely Chopped Garlic - 3 or 4 Nos.
Curry Leaf - 1 Twig
Coriander Leaf - 2 Twigs
Chilly Powder - 3/4 spoon
Turmeric Powder - Pinch
Pepper Powder - 1/2 spoon
Salt - To taste
Oil - To temper

METHOD:
    Break the eggs in a bowl, stir it finely and keep aside. Keep a non-stick pan, heat 2 spoons of oil. Once heated, add chopped Onion and tomato. Saute it for 5 mins. Then add Turmeric Powder, chilly Powder and Salt, fry it till the oil oozes out. Pour the egg content. Leave it for 2 seconds without disturbing. Then stir finely with the onion+tomato mixture. Allow it to mix completely. It will take 5 to 6 mins. Couple of minute before you put off the flame, add Curry and Coriander leaf and fry it well.
    I dont prefer adding any instant powders like Garam, Cumin and Fennel Powders as it will spoil the Chopped ginger garlic flavor.

Note:Instead of adding chilly powder, can also add chopped green chillies
