Egg burji (with a difference) - 2

This is again my mom’s recipe. But my anna(brother) did some modifications to it. He used to add garlic which gives more taste. He is a very good cook. He has a lot of interest in cooking & keeps trying some new dishes. Normally though cooking is taken as only girl’s job, my pappa(father – he is a doctor) & brother(he is an s/w engineer) are two very good male cooks I have ever seen. When I was a kid, if my mom went somewhere, my father used to cook very delicious things for me(I was very lazy child, I never used to enter the kitchen). When I grew up, i got interest in cooking. For three years, after coming to Bangalore, I experimented new things on my brother :). Even he used to cook for me whenever I used to go home late from work.

Ingredients: Potatoes 4 Chilli powder 2 tea spns Garlic 4-5 Mustard seeds 1/4th tea spn Turmeric a pinch Salt Oil 2 tea spns
