Here's a simple and flavourful recipe for Egg Curry, a popular dish that pairs well with rice or bread.

Ingredients

  • For the Curry:
    • 4-6 hard-boiled eggs
    • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or coconut)
    • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
    • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
    • 1 large onion, finely chopped
    • 1-2 green chilies, slit (adjust for spice)
    • 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
    • 2 medium tomatoes, pureed or finely chopped
    • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
    • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
    • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala (optional)
    • Salt to taste
    • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs:
    • Hard boil the eggs (about 10-12 minutes)in Navarasa Master Chef or Steamer Cookpot, then cool them in cold water. Peel and set aside. You can lightly score the eggs with a knife to help them absorb the curry Flavors.
  2. Make the Curry:
    • In a Navarasa Tri-Ply Kadai, heat the oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter, followed by cumin seeds.
    • Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
    • Stir in the green chilies and ginger-garlic paste. Cook for about a minute until fragrant.
    • Add the tomato puree or chopped tomatoes. Cook until the oil separates from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Mix in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for a few more minutes.
  3. Add the Eggs:
    • Gently add the boiled eggs to the curry. You can cut them in half or leave them whole. Stir carefully to coat the eggs with the spice mixture.
    • If the curry is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Finishing Touch:
    • Stir in garam masala, if using. Adjust salt and spices to taste.
    • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or naan.
