Cook the Eggs
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese over the eggs in the last minute of cooking and let it melt.
Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped bell peppers (capsicum) or grated carrots along with the onions for extra nutrition and crunch.
Increase the amount of green chilies or add 1/4 tsp of black pepper powder along with the other spices for extra heat.
Replace the eggs with 300g of crumbled firm tofu. Sauté the tofu with the masala for 4-5 minutes until heated through. Add a pinch of black salt (kala namak) for an 'eggy' flavor.
Eggs are a complete protein source, providing all the essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Coconut oil and fresh coconut provide medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily digestible fats that can be a quick source of energy.
The use of spices like turmeric, mustard seeds, and curry leaves not only adds incredible flavor but also offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Yes, it can be a healthy and balanced meal. It's a good source of protein from eggs and healthy fats from coconut. Using whole-grain bread will increase its fiber content, making it even more nutritious.
It's best served fresh as the eggs can become dry upon reheating. However, you can prepare the masala base (up to step 4) and store it in the refrigerator for a day. When ready to eat, simply reheat the masala, add the eggs, and cook.
Sambar powder gives it the authentic Udupi flavor. If you don't have it, you can substitute it with 1/2 tsp of coriander powder and 1/4 tsp of cumin powder, though the taste will be different.
Absolutely. Simply use your favorite gluten-free bread for toasting. The egg masala itself is naturally gluten-free.
