Egg Curry

There is no compromising when it comes to the nutritional values of anything that you add onto a child’s plate. Here is a dish to easily spawn out when you are doing some last – minute cooking, keeping “healthy” in mind. An indian- based curry with lots of tomatoes, onions, masalas and boiled eggs.

Indian curry isn’t as intimidating as it sounds; it just requires a lot of ingredients and a little help in the right direction. And the best bit is that once you master a single kind of curry base; you have (probably) mastered them all. 

I have devised this 15-minute curry recipe with the help of my favourite kitchen tool – the food processor. Other than adding egg to this curry, it can also be used as a base for many other Indian recipes like fish curry or mushroom curry, with a few changes here and there.

Here goes…

Ingredients: – (serves 4-6)

• 6 boiled eggs
• 2 red onion (diced)
• 1 tbsp grated ginger
• 6-8 cloves garlic
• 2 tomatoes (roughly diced)
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 meat masala powder (opional)
• ½ tsp garam masala (optional)
• 1 tsp red chilli powder (skip if giving to young children)
• salt according to taste.
• 1 tbsp chopped coriander
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil (or 2 tbsp ghee)
• ½ cup water

Method:

1. Marinate the boiled eggs with turmeric powder and salt. Mix and set aside.
2. Put garlic, onions, and tomatoes into a blender. Blend until you get a smooth puree.
3. In a wide pan, add oil/ghee and set over medium-high heat.
4. When hot, sauté the ginger for about a minute.
5. Pour in the puree from the blender. Stir to mix.
6. Season with turmeric, cumin powder, meat masala and garam masala. Cook on medium-high for about 10 minutes or until you see oil on the sides of the pan.
7. Add water followed by salt according. Mix to combine the ingredients.
8. Add in the boiled eggs (You can either slit it into halves or put them whole). Cover lid, cook for another 3 minutes, stirring gently now and then.
9. Garnish with coriander.
10. Serve HOT with a buttered bun or roti (Indian flat bread).

Enjoy!!!
