Eggdelicious

For Shub :)
I need more time for the egg korma recipe. This is a much zimpler one. Hope you like it.

Boiled eggs - 6
Dry Red chillies - 6 **
Jeera - 1 tsp
Urad dal - 2 tsp
Curry leaves - few
Onion, sliced - 1 if medium-sized
Turmeric Powder - As reqd
Salt - To taste


  • Fry the chillies, jeera, dal and curry leaves in a hot kadai. (No oil) Grind them into a fine powder, mix salt & turmeric and keep aside.
  • Make around 5 incisions in the eggs. Don't slice them completely. PLace the powder into those cuts. Cram in as much as you can :)
  • Add gingelly oil to the kadai and sautee onion.
  • Once onion is well cauteed, add the eggs and sautee for 2 minutes. Just to coat the eggs with oil and for the powder to escape the confines of teh egg and meet the onion.
  • Remove from stove and serve with either rice or biryani.

** You can increase or reduce as you see fit.
