Bulls eye (kaalakkannu)

Bulls eye (kaala kannu) is very easy to make. All you need is an egg, little coconut oil and some pepper powder(kurumulaku podi). Place your frying pan on the stove and ensure that all the water drops are vanished under the fire. add 2 tablespoon of cocunut oil (or any edible oil) to the pan and leave it to get heat. ensure that the oil reaches maximum area in circular shape. once the oil gets hot, crack the egg and open it so that its contents falls on the oily area in the frying pan. one it is completely transfered, wait for a few seconds and let it form a soft white layer. once it is formed, turn off the stove and transfer it to the plate for serving. pour a pinch of pepper powder on it and have your bulls eye.
Tips:
Oil is used to prevent the bullseye from getting sticked to the pan and to get the heat uniformly every where. Keeping this to requirements in mind, minimize the amount of oil as much as possible. Minimum usage of oil is required because you may become a fan of excess oil which is actually not good for your health.
