Making the egg cubes
I have used 5 eggs for making this recipe today. Break the eggs into a wide bowl and add quarter teaspoon of salt. Mix well with a fork to combine the yolks and the egg whites.

Steam the eggs for 5-6 minutes in a steamer. After the said time, remove from heat and set aside to cool a bit.
Note: Do not fill the pan to the brim as the eggs will expand while steaming. Keep that in mind.

Run a knife through the sides of the bowl and gently use the knife to release the eggs from the bottom of the bowl. Invert to a plate and cut the steamed egg into small bite sized cubes.

Some of the egg mixture will be sticking to the bowl. Around a good tablespoon or so. Scrape it and use it along with the cubes or you can feed it to your pet. Do not waste it.

Making the egg cubes masala
Heat oil in a frying pan. Add in the mustard seeds, fennel seeds, finely chopped curry leaves, chopped green chillies and chopped garlic. Let the mustard seeds crackle. Fry for a few seconds.
