Then we heated oil in to a large vessel and added spices such as cinnamon, cadamum and curry leaves and then added the onoins and cooked them until it turns light brown colour. Then we added chilli powder , salt ,sugar and kept it until it turns brown colour. and finally we put it in to a container when it cooled.

Then we started making potato curry. first we boiled the potatoes and removed the skins. After that we heated some oil , tempered the spices and added the boiled potatoes. Then after some time we added coconut milk. then stirred the mixture. Finally put it in to a container after it cooled. 

After that me and my friend washed the rice many times then put it in to a large saucepan with temperd spices such as termaric,cadamum, and clove. then we left it for some time then lowerd the heat and added the peas.

Then we fried some Papadam which we cut earlier and then the eggs in a boiled oil.
