1/4 cup unsalted cashews, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 green chili, deseeded and minced (optional)
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup coconut cream
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Instructions
a. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined. Set aside. b. In a separate bowl, drain the soaked cashews and blend them into a smooth paste with a small amount of water. Set aside. c. Heat the coconut oil in a non stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. d. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chili (if using). Cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning. e. Add the tomato sauce to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes. f. Mix in the cashew paste and coconut cream, and cook until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. g. In another non stick pan, pour the egg mixture and cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Cook until just set but still tender, about 5 minutes. h. To serve, divide the scrambled eggs between two plates and spoon the spicy cashew curry over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
