  4. For a Mangalorean touch, add a tiny bit of ghee towards the end.

FAQS

    Yes, you can use frozen coconut, but ensure it is thawed before grinding to achieve a smooth paste.

  2. Can I skip tamarind?

    Tamarind adds a tangy flavor to the dish, but you can substitute it with a small amount of lemon juice if needed.

  3. What can I serve this dish with?

    Scrambled Eggs South Indian Style pairs well with Malabar parotta, Neer dosa, or even plain rice and sambhar.

  4. Can I make this dish less spicy?

    To reduce spiciness, use fewer dry red chillies and green chillies.
