Hi Friends, how is the weather???
It’s really hot in San Francisco, welcome summer, not that I am jumping with joy. Our Air condition is not working and I am not in my best behavior. Walking around fuming at everyone is not working either…. Funny how we look into perfection with the weather and everyone around right?
I want to eat something spicy, is it too much to ask. Today’s post is a simple egg curry I made. Sometimes, just the basics can be underestimated. It’s a quick authentic curry, perfect for a day like this when I don’t feel on top of the world..
I had some masala which I had frozen in a ziploc from a week ago. The chicken curry I made didn’t need that much of the curry/masala, so the leftover worked perfect for the egg curry a week later. How much easier can it get? I was not up for any kind of cooking today with a weather like this but don’t we moms still have to feed our younglings…
Oil in a pan, with some cumin, added the paste and let it simmer. Broke some eggs directly into the masala , and let it simmer for 15 minutes covered and VOILA, we had curry and some satisfied customers.
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cardamom
- 3 cloves
- ¼ inch cinnamom
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 3 tbsp fresh coconut grated or frozen
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- ⅓ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups water
- 4 eggs, if you like boiled eggs, boil the eggs and set aside
- In a pan, add oil and add the spices. Then add the onion, ginger-garlic and fry on medium heat until the onion is golden brown.
- Add the coconut, tomato, red chili powder, turmeric and salt. Mix well for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool.
- After it is cooled, grind it to a fine paste with 1 cup of water.
- In a sauce pan, add the paste, 1 cup of water and let it boil for 5 minutes. Then lower the heat and break the egg and gently drop it in the masala. Simmer it for 6 minutes and serve with rotis.
- If you like hardboiled eggs, scour the eggs and add it last.
I like this recipe.
Thank You..
Nice curry.Did you freeze the masala with coconut.
As usual nice photo and curry.
