JHATPAT CHATPAT- FOR QUICK, EASY AND TASTY RECIPES

Upkari in konkani means dry sabzi of any vegetables and it is a very popular dish among the konkanis. It goes well with rice and dal as a side dish or it also tastes good with rotis. Its normally made of any available vegetables. But whenever we wanted to have something nice other than the usual vegetables upkari, my mother used to make the same dish with egg. Thus we named it egg upkari. I think it’s the easiest dish that can be made with eggs. And delicious too.

Serves about 2 people
Time taken :20 minutes

Ingredients required:
2 medium sized onions chopped finely
5 –6 green chillies slit
3 eggs (white large ones)
1 handfull of chopped coriander leaves
½ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp mustard seeds
salt to taste
3 Tsp oil

Method of preparation:
Heat oil in a kadai. Add mustard seeds. Once it starts to splutter, add the slit green chillies and the chopped onions and fry till the onions turn slightly brownish. Now add the turmeric powder and the salt and fry for a minute. Break the eggs into a small bowl and beat them slightly. Now add this beaten eggs into the kadai and lower the flame to low. Keep on stirring to avoid the sticking of the eggs to the bottom of the kadai. Add more oil (about 1 Tsp) if you feel that the eggs are still sticking to the bottom. Don’t stop stirring till the eggs are fully done and are not sticking to the bottom of the pan. Now add the chopped coriander leaves and fry for about a minute. The egg upkari is ready.
