Egg tarka is found in most of the street roti shops in Kolkata, it does not necessarily to be a dhaba , but a simple roti shop also offer tarka sometimes.. When ordered for a plate of egg tarka they make that carefully on a large tawa( yes they do not use any kadhai or pan), where they saute there preboiled dal or green grams with onion,tomato and some selected Indian spices. I am an egglover so often give it try at home.
