Ingredients

  • 2 large handfuls of fresh cilantro leaves (a little bit of stem is fine!)
  • 1 tablespoon peeled and minced or grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds or ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup [35 g] unsweetened flaked dried coconut
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup [60 ml] coconut milk (full-fat or low-fat coconut milk will work)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Method

  • In a food processor, combine the cilantro, ginger, cumin, dried coconut, and 1/2 tsp salt and pulse until the cilantro is finely chopped. Add the coconut milk and lime juice and pulse just to combine (you want the chutney to have a little texture, rather than be totally smooth). Set the chutney aside.
  • Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until the whites and yolks are well blended. Add the remaining salt and whisk one more time.
  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the eggs and cook, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula, until they are as set as you like them to be.
  • Transfer the eggs to a large platter. Serve the chutney either spooned on top or in a bowl on the side.
