Egg Cutlets with Pappu Charu (Toor dal rasam)

I lately realised that I'd completed my half century of posts..Time really flies...I never expected myself to be a regular blogger...

Well, for ppl who've gone thru my previous suthi post might be wondering why I blabbered a lot abt Eggs...becoz I made Egg cutlets on Friday...One of my favourite recipes with Eggs...They can be served as a starter or an accomplishment to a main meal...I also made Toor Dal Rasam (Pappu charu) which goes well with these cutlets....

For cutlet,
Eggs - 3

4. In a pan heat oil and saute the onions till they turn transperent. Add the garam masala powder and mix well.

5. Place these cutlets in the pan and cook them for about 5 min. Make sure that both the sides get cooked well(switch off the stove when they start turning brown).
