  • Heat frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, measure the whole spices (cardamom, cumin, fennel and coriander) into it. Dry roast spices for 2 - 3 minutes, shaking the pan from time to time to toss them around a bit. Don't roast too long. Remove from the heat and put into a mortar. Crush.

  • When the sauce is ready, season it well with salt and add the lime juice.
  • Put the eggs on top of the sauce, and cook covered for a couple of minutes to heat eggs.
  • Serve the egg curry with rice, some more lime pickle and perhaps some mango chutney to add a touch of sweetness.
