Spiced Sri Lankan Sautéed Eggs Pastry

Assemble the ingredients: eggs, potato, water, black pepper, bay leaf, paprika, lemon juice.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the eggs and cook until sautéed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Sri Lankan flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Sri Lankan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
