Egg Curry:
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or mustard oil)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, pureed or finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1-2 green chilies, slit (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup water (adjust for consistency)
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions:
-
Boil the Eggs:
- Boil the eggs in a pot of water for 8-10 minutes. Once done, peel and set them aside.
-
Prepare the Curry Base:
- Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown (around 7-8 minutes).
- Add ginger-garlic paste and green chilies (if using). Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Add Spices and Tomatoes:
- Add turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and coriander powder. Stir well to combine.
- Add the pureed or chopped tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until the oil starts separating from the masala and the tomatoes soften.
-
Add Water:
- Add water to the curry base, stir, and bring it to a simmer. Adjust the consistency as desired (more water for a thinner curry, less for a thicker one).
-
Add Eggs:
- Gently add the boiled eggs to the curry. You can either leave them whole or lightly score them with a knife to help the curry flavors seep in.
- Cover and let the eggs simmer in the curry for about 5 minutes.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
- Serve the egg curry hot with rice, roti, or paratha.
Enjoy your delicious homemade egg curry!
