Bombay Breakfast





 This morning I had a few scraggly bits and ends kicking around the fridge. A sad looking cabbage knuckle, one onion and a couple of wrinkly potatoes, hard times indeed. With the motivation to cook but no willpower to actually leave the house I made do. 

The eggs literally turned up on the doorstep this morning, the deliverer still a mystery. A Note to who ever it was, non free range eggs are not the way to anyones heart. Ever.

Especially if they are double yokers. They are just doubly creepy and doubly gross. But thanks, pale mucousy eggs are better then no eggs said no one. 


Recipe:

2 tbsp coconut oil
 1 small onion 
2 cloves of garlic
12 curry leaves
1/2 tsp black mustard
1/2 tsp turmeric powder 
1 tsp of curry powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 green chilli 
3 medium agria potatoes chopped into 2cm pieces 
1/8 of a cabbage sliced thinly
2 FREE RANGE eggs 

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Heat cast iron skillet till smoking. 
Slice onions into small wedges and add to skillet along with the herbs and spices. Fry until fragrant and onions are starting to colour. 
Throw in the potatoes and mix well to cover in spices, you may need to add more oil at this stage to keep the potatoes from sticking. 

Transfer skillet to the hot oven and leave to cook for 20 minutes. 
Remove from oven and stir through cabbage slices and return to oven for another 15 minutes until crispy and golden. 

Meanwhile cook your egg how ever you like it (I fried mine and steamed the yolk at an attempt to hide how disgusting was)
Place egg on top of potato. 
Eat it. 

You may have noticed I also added a pretty little herb garnish, well done you. 
Its late, I cant remember what its called and I cant be bothered getting out of bed to check. Just use something green.
