The process begins by moistening the mud with water until it becomes gooey. Next, not one, not two, but a total of 300 eggs are coated in the mud and placed on hot charcoal. Once cooked, the eggs are transferred to a large wok for thorough cleansing. They are then peeled and deep-fried. For the tadka, a wok is heated, and a block of butter is melted in it. Chopped vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, capsicum, broccoli, beans, and tomatoes are added to the wok. Salt, chilli flakes, and powdered spices are sprinkled, followed by ketchup and green chilli sauce. Finally, the fried eggs are added to the wok. After mixing everything together, the dish is ready to be served.
