Egg Tadka - Roadside Stall

This dish is something that I remember from my childhood days. Whenever Ma would have lot of work from school and would not have time to cook, Dad would bring this and roti from a small roadside restaurant near our house at Kharagpur.
Those days restaurants and Cafes were not as common as they are today and Kharagpur being a very small place there is still scarcity of restaurants.
Today I don't know why I felt like preparing that and below is what I came up with:

It became a bit more watery than what I actually wanted. But thats fine coz I had prepared it for the first time and it tasted awesome.
