Here’s a comforting, flavorful egg curry recipe you can make at home—rich, slightly spicy, and perfect with roti or rice:
🍳 Egg Curry (Desi Style)
🧾 Ingredients:
- 4–6 boiled eggs (peeled)
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tomatoes (pureed or finely chopped)
- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1–2 green chilies (optional)
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp garam masala
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup water
- Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prep the eggs
Lightly score or make small slits in the boiled eggs. You can also shallow-fry them in a little oil with a pinch of turmeric and salt until slightly golden (optional but adds flavor). - Make the base
Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and cook until golden brown. - Add aromatics
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. - Tomato & spices
Add tomatoes, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until oil separates from the masala. - Gravy
Add water and bring to a simmer. Adjust consistency as you like. - Add eggs
Gently place the eggs into the gravy. Simmer for 5–7 minutes so they absorb the flavors. - Finish
Sprinkle garam masala and garnish with fresh coriander.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
- Serve hot with roti, naan, or steamed rice
- Add a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness
🔥 Variations:
- Punjabi style: Add a little cream or butter for richness
