Poached eggs
Poached eggs are cooked in water without oil or ghee and hence easily digested. It can be an accompaniment to dosais, idlis, or sandwiches making an excellent light breakfast.

Egg - 1
Black pepper powder - a pinch

PS: The white of an egg coagulates sooner than the yolk. The yolk will not be as firm as the white of the egg. Isn't it a tempting one?

Thanks Lera. I too have a 4-yr-old brilliant taste-tester at home who just gulped it all soon after it is made :-)
really beautifully poached eggs
Goodness, that egg looks lovely - like the yolk is wearing a lovely frilly white skirt! :) I didnt know you could poach eggs directly in water, without a poacher!
Thanks Rokh.
Wow! Shammi, yolk wearing a lovely frilly white skirt - what a vivid imagination!
When I looked at it for the first time, for me it resembled a beautiful women's hat with ample round crown and brim turned up all around :-)
