About this recipe
An egg roast is not soup or curry but something altogether sharper: a dry-ish pan-sear where eggs are cooked in their own fat, coated in a spice mixture toasted and tempered in coconut oil. The heat builds through layers—ginger-garlic, green chillies raw and alive, then coriander powder and cumin powder added to the pan to toast in the oil's heat and coat each egg fragment. The result is spicy enough to clear your sinuses and warm enough to linger on your tongue.
At 310 calories and just 6g net carbs, with 16g of protein, this is lightning-fast cooking (20 minutes flat) for a deeply satisfying plate. The curry leaves char and blacken, adding a slight bitterness; the turmeric gives color and earthiness; the black pepper adds a lingering heat that doesn't rush or fade. This is breakfast-for-dinner keto: scrambled or fried eggs, depending on how you want them to hold shape. Serve it standing in the kitchen, still hot, or pack it in a container for lunch tomorrow. It won't reheat to the same crispness but stays delicious cold, the spices deepening.
