Egg Curry

View Recipe

Egg is a versatile cooking ingredient. Many people who do not eat meat eat eggs. Delicious and quick this curry can be ready in 25 minutes. I call it easiest curry and everyone’s favorite. Meat lovers adore it and eggetarian vegetarians like it too.

If you have leftover eggs from devil eggs served for a party, you still can make curry with leftovers and enjoy a quick meal with Rice and Eggs. Kids love it for taste of eggs and moms love it because it is healthy for kids.

A nice change of pace and convenient on those days when I might have forgotten to thaw out the meat that I planned to cook in evening. Try this recipe and your family will fall in love with it.

Garnish egg curry with coriander leaves and serve hot with paratha, roti or rice for Lunch or Dinner.

Ingredients

  • 3-4 tbsp Yogurt (Well Beaten [If using thick yogurt then] blend with 4 tbsp of water)
  • 4 Egg(s) (Boiled and Peeled)
  • 1 tsp Ginger (Paste Or Grated)
  • 1 tsp Garlic (Paste Or Grated)
  • 1 tbsp Cilantro (Chopped - Optional)
  • 1/2 Cup Tomatoes (Grated)
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • Salt (To Taste Approx. 1 tsp)
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 Cup Red Onion (finely chopped or grated)
  • 1-2 Hot Green Pepper (small) (fine chopped Or 1/2 tsp crushed black pepper [Optional])
  • 1.5 tbsp Canola Oil

Directions

  • 1. Heat oil in pan, add cumin seeds. when these start sputtering, add onion and fry until light brown in color (4-5 minutes). Now, add ginger, garlic, green chilies. Fry for 2 minutes. Add turmeric and red chill powder and fry for a minute.
  • 2. Now add grated tomato, coriander powder and salt. Fry until oil separates.
  • 3. Remove pan from heat and let the mixture cool for some time. Now add yogurt, 1 tbsp at a time and mix after each addition until all yogurt is mixed. Turn on heat and cook for 3-4 minutes continuously stirring the mixture. If gravy looks very thick, add water (2-3 tbsp) to adjust consistency and cook 2-3 minute more.
    Additional Notes:
    It is important that you stir mixture continuously while adding yogurt, a little at a time. Or you can also blend this mixture with yogurt in blender or food processor. This process insures yogurt does not curdle.
  • 4. Turn off the heat and add eggs to the gravy. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with Chapati or Rice.

Savita's Recipe Notes:

Note: If you have never cooked with yogurt. Use the food processor to blend yogurt with curry. This curry has traditional tangy flavor due to yogurt and tomatoes. If you looking for creamy sweet curry like restaurants, use heavy cream instead of yogurt. Or try my other recipe, Egg Curry Tikka Masala from suggestions.

I made this the other day and it was wonderful! My family loved it! Since then, my husband has learned he is allergic to tomatoes. I wondered if you might have any suggestions for a good substitute? I’m thinking of maybe adding some beef or veggie broth for the liquid, and maybe some black beans for substance? Just wondering if I should add some extra seasonings too, and or if there are some other things you might recommend. Thank you.
