Humpty Dumpty

That's my eggy tomato dish, and if you are wondering why that name, well, I don't know! Some names are just names without any interesting explanation!

So.. how do you make a Humpty Dumpty?

Chop three tomatoes, and a large onion. Keep three eggs ready. Take a deep, flat pan. Sautee the onion in olive oil till brown, them dump the tomatoes. Add chlli and turmeric, and a dash of salt. Let the concoction simmer for some time. All the while, mash up the tomatoes till they become a thick pasty gravy.

Now comes the interesting part...

Make "wells" in the onion-tomato paste, one for each egg. Dump each egg into it's well, and let it simmer on low flame till the egg cooks a bit. You might want to keep poking the egg dump a bit to let it cook through.

Finally, add some chopped coriander, and grind some black pepper.. your Humpty Dumpty is ready to be had with whole wheat bread!
