Egg curry

I have friends asking me to post a recipe for an egg curry, and here it is.

Difficulty level: Easy

Preparation time: 15 min

Cooking time: 15 min

Makes: 2- 3 servings

Ingredients:

Eggs: 3, boiled and scored

Onion: 1 small, thinly sliced

Oil: 2 tbsp

Shredded coconut: 2 tbsp

Ginger-garlic paste: 1 tbsp

Egg masala powder: 2 tbsp

Curry leaves: leaves of 1 sprig

Cumin: 1 tsp

Heat 1 tbsp oil and saute cumin, shredded coconut, onion & ginger-garlic paste, until it turns light brown. Add the egg masala powder and curry leaves. Continue to saute until the raw taste of the masala is gone. Grind to a fine paste after cooling.

Heat 1 tbsp oil and add the eggs. Saute for a while, until the outer portion is light brown. Keep aside and cut in halves.  To the same oil, add the ground paste along with 1/2 cup water. Bring to boil, and slowly slide the eggs (cut in half) into the skillet, taking care not to break it. Allow to simmer for 2 min. Garnish and serve warm.

It goes well with rice, chapathi, naan, vellayappam or nool puttu.

Egg roast

Though I am a vegetarian, I do eat eggs and a spicy egg roast is a favorite dish of mine.  It is easy to make but may be a bit spicy for kids. Also the dish is not for you if you prefer gravy with your dishes

Dfficulty level: Easy
Preparation time: 20 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Makes: 1 serving

Ingredients:


Eggs: 2, boiled
Onion: 2 big, thinly sliced
Chilli powder: 1 tsp
Turmeric powder: 1/8 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil: 1 1/2 tbsp
Curry leaves: 1 sprig

Hard boil eggs, remove the shell and score them. Heat the oil in a pan and add the hard boiled eggs. Saute until the eggs turn light brown all around, stirring continuously so as to make sure it doesn't burn. Keep aside.

Saute the onions along with a pinch of salt (so that it will brown on you faster) until it turns dark brown (caramelises). Add the chilli powder, turmeric powder and the curry leaves. Mix well and saute until the raw taste is gone. Add the sauteed eggs and mix well until the masala gets coated on the eggs. Form a small hill of the onion on the eggs and cook on the lowest setting for 2 min.
Garnish and dig in. It can be served with rice or chapathi.

Masala egg

This is just a different take on the ordinary scrambled eggs. This tastier version is so easy to make, that you will not want to make the ordinary scrambled eggs any more.

Difficulty level: Easy
Preparation time: 5 min
Cooking time: 10 min

Ingredients:

Eggs: 2
Onion: 1/2 of 1 medium
Coriander powder: 1 tsp
Chilli powder: 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder: 1/4 tsp
Oil: 1 tsp
Salt: to taste
Curry leaves: leaves of 1 sprig

Heat oil in a skillet and saute thinly sliced onion. In the meantime, crack the eggs and beat slightly. When the onion starts to get light brown, add the spices and salt. Saute well and add the curry leaves. Mix in the slightly beaten egg after a minute. Scramble the mix until you get to your desired consistency. Garnish and serve warm. This goes well with rice, chapathi or even with bread.
