Egg Curry


Eggs are an important source of protein, essential vitamins and minerals and can make a significant contribution to a healthy diet. Eggs are one of the comfort foods, which can be cooked as quickly OR as elaborate.

Usually egg curries are made with hard-boiled eggs. But this recipe is slighty different. The eggs are poached in the tomato sauce making it more tender.

Ingredients
4 eggs
1 cup water
1 medium sized onion, sliced
2 medium tomatoes, cubed
1/2" piece ginger
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
1 tbsp of cooking oil
salt to taste

cilantro to garnish

Method
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add the ginger & onions and saute it for 2-3 mins. Add tomatoes & saute until mushy. Add all the powders & mix until well combined.
  • Grind the above ingredients in the mixer to a coarse paste with some water.
  • Transfer the contents to the pan. Add salt & additional water (if required). Break eggs into the sauce one by one.
  • Cook them with pan lid covered for about 5-7 minutes. Then lower the heat & simmer for couple more minutes.
  • Yummy egg curry is ready to serve with rotis/ rice.
