Egg Masala / curry

Well finished with the egg masala, tastes nice if I may say so myself. Going to a friends place in the evening with the egg masala, she's recovering from cancer surgery so deserves a bit of pampering. Well the recipe with the snaps of the finished dish is below for anybody who wishes to try it out.


Ingredients :

1. Eggs 4 nos.
2. Green chilies 2 nos or more if you want to make it more spicy.
3. Garlic 4 nos. large cloves
4. Ginger about half a finger length
5. Onions 2nos. medium sized
6. Grated coconut 1/2 cup
7. Red chilly powder 2 tsp
8. Malvani masala 2 1/2 tsp
9. Garam masala 1 tsp
10. Cummin seeds a pinch
11. Dry red chilly 2 nos.
12. Hing a pinch
13. Coriander
14. Salt to taste

Preparation :

1. Hard boil the eggs.
2. Add 2-3 tbsp of oil in a pan and heat.
3. Add sliced onions and fry till golden brown and slightly translucent.
4. Add the grated coconut and fry till it changes color.
5. In a mixer add the onions, grated coconuts, green chilies, ginger, garlic and water. Grind to a very fine paste. The paste has to be very fine otherwise the coconut can be felt while chewing and that is not a good idea.
6. Add 2-3 tbsp of oil to a pan and heat.
7. Add the cummin seeds when hot.
8. Add the hing and red chilies and fry for a minute.
9. Add the paste from the mixer and cook till a bit of oil can be seen on the surface.
10. Add water to thin the mixture to a desired consistency but remember it is not a good idea to make it too watery.
11. Add salt to taste. I normally add it to a bit of water and then add the solution to the mixture.
12. Cut the eggs in to 2 and add to the curry with the yellow facing downwards.
13. Allow it to cook for a couple of minutes.
14. Add the finely chopped coriander to garnish.

Lo the egg masala / curry is ready.
