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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finishing Touch:
- Stir in garam masala, if using. Adjust salt and spices to taste.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve:
- Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or naan.
