SOUTH INDIAN EGG CURRY

Steps:

• Peel the boiled eggs and make few gashes over each egg. Keep these aside.
• You can use chopped tomatoes in the recipe. Or make a smooth puree of tomatoes and cashews (or coconut). Set this aside.
• Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin and allow to splutter.
• Then add curry leaves. When they begin to splutter, add onions and green chilies.
• Keep stirring and fry until the onions turn golden to light brown.
• When the onions turn golden, add ginger garlic paste. Saute till the raw smell of the garlic has gone.
• Pour the tomato puree. Saute for a while until the tomatoes and onions blend well.
• Add red chili powder, turmeric, salt, garam masala and coriander powder.
• Mix well. Cook for a few minutes till the mixture begins to smell good. The raw smell must go away.
• Add the eggs and fry for 2 minutes stirring gently.
• Pour water just enough to make a gravy.
• Cover the pan and Cook on a medium heat.
• Within minutes the gravy turns thick and traces of oil appear over the curry.
• If needed add more salt.
• This step is optional. If using coconut milk, pour it and stir in. Do not cook for long after adding coconut milk.
• Sprinkle some coriander leaves. Turn off the stove.
• Serve egg curry with plain rice or chapathi.

AKOORI (INDIAN SCRAMBLED EGGS)

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan over a low-medium heat and add the butter. Gently fry the onion, chilli and garlic until the onion is soft - about 5 mins. Add the spices and cook for 1-2 mins more, stirring around the pan until aromatic.
• Add the tomatoes, cook for 1 min, then pour in the eggs and lower the heat. Stir slowly to scramble the eggs as they cook, and remove from the heat while they are still a little runny. Continue stirring off the heat for 1 min more until the eggs are just set.
• Stir through the coriander and serve with chapatis for a delicious breakfast or brunch.
