Egg Curry

Egg curry is one of the easiest and quickest curry you can make.  There are so many different ways to make this curry.  Today I am sharing with you the North Indian version.  So, I told my daughter I will make egg curry for dinner today and she goes can you add some potatoes to the curry, I was like are you sure?  She was like yes please.  Potatoes are optional but since my daughter requested it, I did add two small potatoes in this curry.

 Ingredients:

  • 1 big onion, sliced lengthwise
  • 5-6 garlic cloves
  • ginger about an inch
  • 2 green chilies
  • 1/4 cup tomato puree
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 red chili powder
  • 3/4 tsp garam masala
  • cilantro to garnish
  • water as needed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or heavy cream

Directions:

In a pan, add water and 6 eggs. Let it boil for about 15 minutes to get the hard boiled eggs. After the eggs are done, drain the hot water and fill it with cold water. Set aside for a few minutes. Then peel the skin and leave it until we prepare the masala.

If not adding the potatoes, then add about 2 cups of water and let it boil.  After the first boil, simmer the gas and let it cook.   In about 5 minutes or so when you see the curry has been reduced a little bit add milk or heavy cream whatever you prefer to give the curry  a thick texture.

Cut the boiled eggs into half  and add to the curry.  You can simmer for 3-5 minutes and garnish it with cilantro.
