Mutta Avial !! (Egg in a simple coconut mixture)

One thing I have noticed about my blogging is that I haven't recorded any of those egg recipes till date.So to begin with, I thought of scribing this favourite of mine which I consider as a quick fix curry.This recipe has helped me a lot in handling many unexpected situations in kitchen.This is such a simple recipe to prepare as the ingredients are readily available in most kitchens.

1 piece ginger chopped
4 garlic cloves chopped

1/2 cup water
salt,coconut oil as needed
