Making a simple egg curry quickly is quite straightforward. Here's a basic recipe that you can follow:

Ingredients:

  • Eggs: 4-6
  • Onion: 1 large, finely chopped
  • Tomatoes: 2 medium, chopped
  • Ginger-garlic paste: 1 tablespoon
  • Cooking oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Cumin seeds: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Red chili powder: 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
  • Coriander powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Garam masala powder: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt: to taste
  • Water: as needed
  • Fresh cilantro (coriander leaves): for garnish

Instructions:

Boil Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let the eggs cook for about 9-10 minutes. Once done, cool the eggs under cold running water, peel them, and set aside.

Prepare the Curry Base:

Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Add Spices:
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.



Spice the Curry:
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook the spices for a couple of minutes.

Add Water and Simmer:
Add a little water (about 1/2 cup) to create the curry base. Adjust the water according to your desired consistency.
Let the curry simmer for a few minutes until it thickens and the flavors meld together.

Add Eggs: Gently cut the boiled eggs in half and add them to the simmering curry. You can also make a few slits in the eggs to allow them to absorb the flavors of the curry.

Finish with Garam Masala: Sprinkle garam masala powder over the curry for added flavor.



Garnish and Serve:Garnish the curry with chopped cilantro (coriander leaves).
Serve the egg curry hot with rice, roti (Indian flatbread), or bread.
