Spicy Egg Fry

Eggs are an important part of our diet, they are tasty and healthy and everyone likes them. I may be biased but our chickens lay the best eggs in the world :) Since everyone in our house likes any recipe made with eggs I am always on the look out for more egg recipes. I saw this on a YouTube channel - Dindigul Food Court - Egg Pepper Fry.

Made with slight modifications with ingredients I had on hand and grown in the farm :) including tomatoes, jalapeños, coriander leaves and garlic. I don't have to talk about home grown tomatoes, they make whatever dish they are added into exceptional in taste.
