Most comforting food - Homestyle Egg Curry

Sometimes, all you need is a comforting yet spicy dish, and today I decided to make my simple egg curry. This recipe is a regular in my kitchen – easy to prepare with just a few ingredients, but packed with flavor!

Ingredients:

4 boiled eggs

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp red chilli powder

2 tbsp mustard oil (or any cooking oil)

1 bay leaf, 2 cloves, 1 small cinnamon stick, 1 green cardamom

2 medium onions (finely chopped)

1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste

2 tomatoes finely chopped

1/2 tsp red chili powder

1/2 tsp chicken masala

1 tsp kasoori methi

Salt to taste

Water as needed

Fresh coriander for garnish (optional)

Method:

1. Egg Fry:

Coat the boiled eggs with a little turmeric and salt, then lightly fry them until they turn golden brown. Set them aside.

2. Make the Masala Base:

Heat oil and add the bay leaf, cloves, green cardamom and cinnamon stick. Let it sizzle for a few seconds, then add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

3. Add the Paste:

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears. If using tomatoes, add them now and cook until soft.

4. Add Spices:

Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, chicken masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for a minute. Add kasoori methi.

5. Make the Gravy:

Add some water to create a gravy. Once it starts to boil, add the fried eggs into the gravy.

6. Simmer:

Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes on medium heat to let the eggs soak in the flavors. Garnish with coriander leaves.

7. Serve:

Serve hot with rice, roti, or paratha.

Tips:

Frying the eggs enhances their taste and texture in the curry.

Whole spices add an aromatic flavor to the dish.

You can add boiled potato for more flavour.
