Recipe - Bittara Hodhi (Curried Eggs)

8 Eggs
One half Onion
1 Fresh chili
One half teaspoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Litre oil
1 cup Thick coconut milk
One half teaspoon Chili powder
One half teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Coriander
One fourth teaspoon Fennel
1 Inch cinnamon stick

Hard boil the eggs. Slice the onion and chilli. Shell the eggs, sprinkle
with the turmeric and salt and prick all over with a skewer to allow spices
to get into the eggs. Heat the oil and deep fry the eggs until they turn a
light golden brown. Drain and remove. Put the coconut milk in a pan and add
the onion, chilli, chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, fennel
powder and cinnamon stick. Cook over a low heat until the onion is soft.
Cut the eggs in half, add to the pan and simmer for a further 2 minutes.
Discard the cinnamon stick before serving.
