Gearing up for tomorrow as it’s 15th August India’s Independence day. Guess it’s more or less become like a holiday now for everyone. Anyways I don’t wish to go into a political mode as I hate politics and people involved in them (:

Mostly people celebrate making home made sweets st home during independence day. My mom makes patoli its a turmeric leaf wrapped with filling of jaggery and coconut. I will miss that mom tomorrow.

Total Time: 20 mins

Serves : 2 to 3 people

Ingredients:

1. 4 eggs
2. 4 dried red chilies
3. 1 tbsp oil
4. 10 to 12 curry leaves
5. 1/2 t/s mustard seed
6. 1/2 t/s urad dal (split gram)
7. 1/2 tbsp cumin seed (jeera)
8. 1 tbsp caraway seed (shahi jeera)
9. a pinch of asofoetida (hing)
10. 1/2 t/s fenugreek seed
11. 2 to 3 tomatoes chopped into chunks (use 2 if tomatoes are big sized)
12. 2 onion medium sized chopped into chunks
13. 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
14. 1 cup water Or as consistency required
15. 1/2 t/s turmeric powder
16. 1.5 tbsp garam masala powder
17. 1.5 tbsp kitchen king masala
18. 1 tbsp coriander seed powder
19. 3 whole green chilies slit from center
20. 2 tbsp red chili powder
21. 1 tbsp biryani masala powder
22. 1 tbsp cumin seed powder
23. 1 tbsp fennel seed powder
24. 1 t/s sugar
25. few coriander leaves for garnishing
26. salt as per taste
27. 2 boiled eggs for garnishing (optional)

Method:

Keep all the spices handy. Combine tomatoes, onion and ginger-garlic paste into a processor. Grind until smooth mixture is formed. Add little water if required. I don’t have a pic for this one.

Take a vessel add oil place on medium heat. Once oil is hot reduce the temperature. Now add mustard seed, fenugreek seed, urad dal, curry leaves, dried red chilies, asofoetida, cumin seed, caraway seed and sugar. Saute all nicely on low fire for a minute.

Once they are crackling add the grounded paste. Keep stirring and saute for 3 to 4 mins. The mixture will start thickening add water to it.

Add all the spices from number 15 to 23. Stir all nicely. It’s time to add the eggs. Just break the egg one by one into the gravy and keep some space between them. Please refrain from stirring. Cover with a lid for 4 to 5 mins on medium heat. Allow the eggs to cook.

Once the eggs are cooked add salt. Check the taste add if spice Or salt if required. Now cook for another 2 to 3 mins. Switch off the gas cover with a lid. Garnish with coriander leaves and slices of boiled egg. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Tip:

1. While you add eggs it’s important you keep some space between the eggs. Also it’s crucial you don’t stir in between else you will have scrambled eggs. Once the eggs are cooked then you can stir but gently.
2. If you garnish your curry with slices of boiled eggs it looks presentable and your kids, family will love them.
3. You can alter the spices as per your preference.
4. You could add boiled eggs if you wish to. While boiling eggs just add a t/s of salt Or vinegar this helps the egg shells not to crack.

Enjoy Quick Egg Curry! Wish everyone a Happy Independence Day
