Egg Curry: A Flavorful and Protein-Packed Indian Delight
Egg Curry is a popular and satisfying Indian dish that features hard-boiled eggs simmered in a rich, spiced tomato-based sauce.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 -inch (2.5 cm) piece ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green chilies, slit lengthwise
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1 cup water
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced ginger, garlic, and green chilies to the skillet, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and the oil begins to separate from the mixture.
- Add the water to the skillet, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Gently place the hard-boiled eggs into the sauce, spooning some sauce over the eggs to coat them. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the eggs to absorb the flavors of the curry.
- Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust the salt, if necessary.
- Serve the Egg Curry hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, alongside rice, flatbread, or your favorite side dish.
