Spicy Egg Curry

Spicy Egg Curry is a bold and flavorful dish that combines hard-boiled eggs with a rich, spiced tomato-based sauce. This curry is simmered with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, creating a warm, fragrant base that’s infused with the eggs for an extra layer of flavor. The result is a creamy, spicy curry that’s perfect for mopping up with naan or serving over rice. Quick to make and incredibly satisfying, Spicy Egg Curry is a delicious way to enjoy a vegetarian curry with a bit of a kick!

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 1 green chili, chopped (optional, for heat)
• 1 large tomato, finely chopped
• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp garam masala
• Salt to taste
• ½ cup coconut milk or water (for a thinner sauce)
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs: Cut a few shallow slits in the boiled eggs (this helps them absorb the curry flavors). Set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and green chili, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
3. Cook the Spices: Stir in the turmeric, coriander, cumin, and red chili powder, and cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.
4. Add Tomatoes and Simmer: Add the chopped tomato and a pinch of salt, and cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil begins to separate from the sauce, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the Eggs and Simmer: Add the boiled eggs and gently coat them with the sauce. Pour in the coconut milk (or water if you prefer a thinner curry) and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Finish with Garam Masala: Stir in the garam masala and adjust the salt as needed. Simmer for another minute, then remove from heat.
7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with naan, rice, or roti.
