Instructions
To make the curry - Heat oil in a pan, season with cumin seeds, fennel seeds and curry leaves. Saute onions, green chilli along with ginger garlic paste until it turns lightly crisp and brown. Add in the tomatoes and cook along with turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt. Keep frying until the masala cooks well and turns brown. Add in the cauliflower florets, cover and cook along with masala for 5 minutes over low flame or until it cook through.
When done, add in eggs & a pinch of salt . Slowly scramble along with the cauliflower masala.
It may look very watery as soon you add in the egg mixture... keep cooking and stirring.
Eventually the eggs will firm up absorbing all the masala.
Keep stir frying until it turns like a dry mixture, add in chopped curry and coriander leaves and switch off!
