EASY EGG CURRY

October 5, 2018 by Shazia 2 Comments

Hi Friends! I have another easy South Asian recipe for you today, a delicious curry made with hard boiled eggs.  I would say this is a meal for the days I am being lazy and don’t want to cook anything elaborate but still want to have something homemade. If you have eggs on hand and a few spices this meal will come together in no time, I promise.  This also makes a great vegetarian curry or when you don’t feel like having a meat curry.  My kids really enjoy it with rice, naan, roti or any flatbread.  See recipe notes for any details for the actual recipe.  I hope you try it and let me know how it was. Enjoy!

Recipe type: Main Dish
Cuisine: Pakistani/Indian
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 8 Eggs hard boiled
  • 1 med. onion, finely chopped
  • 3 med. tomatoes, pureed
  • 4-5 garlic, minced
  • 1-2 cooking oil of choice. I used avocado oil
  • 1 tsp. cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. cumin powder
  • 2 tsp. coriander powder
  • 1 tsp. garam masala
  • ¼ tsp. turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp. chili powder
  • fresh cilantro to garnish 2-3 tbsp.
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
Instructions
  1. Place eggs in saucepan cover with water, cover pan with lid let it come to rolling boil. Than set timer for 10 min. Than place under cool running water to stop cooking and peel in cool water as well.
  2. In large pan heat oil and add onions. Sauté till golden brown. Than add garlic and cumin seeds. Sauté for about 10 sec till garlic is not raw.
  3. Add the pureed tomatoes and all the spices. Keep heat to med-low. Cook this mixture for about 10 min. Till tomato/onion mixture has separated from oil a little bit and not watery. This will ensure the raw tomatoes and spices have been cooked. It may stick to bottom of pan turn heat a little lower or you can add few tablespoons of water for this step.
  4. Add water, this will make more gravy. Add frozen peas. Let the peas warm thru, slice the eggs in half and place them in the curry sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Notes
1. You don't have to puree the tomatoes if it's an extra step for you. I just find that pureeing the tomatoes makes a smoother curry sauce and you don't have a lot of tomato skin. If that doesn't bother you, just dice the tomatoes.

2. You can also add less water that will give you a thicker gravy or even add little more than 1 cup of water. That can just be a preference and if feeding more people than extra sauce will go long way. I have noticed people really like the curry sauce.

3. You can also add diced potatoes in this with the peas or instead of the peas. You would just have to add them with the tomatoes so they have enough time to cook.

Enjoy!
