This dish comes in handy when I run out of vegetables.They taste exotic with a simple rasam sadham..After transferring the dish to the serving bowl,don't forget to add some rice to the pan in which u had cooked,mix with the gravy left in the pan..Just have the mixed rice....We refer it as Vanali sadham (The pan in which it is cooked is called Vanali)It is the most delicious food I can say...Don't miss it...

HANDY TIPS:

• U can cut the boiled eggs in any shape u need.U can use egg cutter to make it more attractive.
• Instead of chilli powder and coriander powder u can add sambar powder too to give a different taste.
• If u want it little gravy then u can add thick coconut milk finally and make it into little gravy consistency and use it as a side dish for roti.
• Slicing the onions horizontally  will give u a nice crunchy taste to the dish.
• If u cook for more time after adding the eggs the eggs will become hard.
