Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs Boiled
  • 50 ml Oil
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 Green Chilli
  • 1 tsp Ginger Paste
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 100 g Yoghurt
  • 100 ml Water
  • 1 tbsp Dried Fenugreek

Instructions

  • Start by adding oil to a pan and heating it on medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and sauté them until they become fragrant and lightly golden.
  • Add chopped onions to the pan and cook them until they become soft and golden brown.
  • Toss in the chopped green chili and ginger-garlic paste. Stir and cook for a couple of minutes until the raw smell of the paste fades away.
  • Next, add chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook them until they soften, stirring occasionally.
  • Now, add your spices to the mixture—this could include turmeric, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, or garam masala. Stir and cook the spices for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to release their flavours into the dish.
  • Lower the heat and gently add the yogurt, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Cook for a few minutes until the yogurt blends in smoothly with the spices.
  • Pour in the water, mixing everything together thoroughly. Cook the mixture for about 6-8 minutes, or until you see the oil separating from the curry.
  • Gently add the boiled eggs to the pan, making sure they are well coated with the sauce. Let them simmer in the curry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavours to seep into the eggs.
  • Finally, sprinkle the dried fenugreek (kasuri methi) over the curry, give it one last mix, and your egg curry is ready to serve!
