Soft Cooked Eggs With Coriander Salt Recipes

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CORIANDER AND GINGER (EKURI PARSRI)

Steps:

• Break eggs into a deep bowl and mix them lightly with a whisk or fork. Add the milk, salt and black pepper, stir until all of the ingredients are well combined. Do not overbeat or allow the egg-and-milk mixture to foam or become frothy.
• In a 10 inch skillet, heat the ghee over moderate heat until a drop of water flicked into it splutters instantly. Add the ginger and fry for 10 seconds, then add the onions and fry about 1 minute, until they are soft but not brown.
• Pour in the beaten egg mixture and sprinkle the top with the fresh chili. Reduce the heat to the lowest possible point and, stirring constantly with the flat of a table fork or a rubber spatula, cook the eggs until they begin to form soft, creamy curds. Immediately spread the eggs on a heated serving plate, sprinkle the top with cumin and serve.
• Ekuri is traditionally garnished with slices or wedges of fresh tomato and may be further embellished with sprigs or leaves of coriander. It is usually accompanied by plain parathas.

SOFT-BOILED EGG

Steps:

• Place (cold) egg carefully into a small saucepan of boiling water and cook for 4 1/2 to 5 minutes.
• To serve in the shell, quickly crack at wider end with a knife, and remove top. To serve out of the shell, hold egg over a small bowl, tap around center with a knife, and gently pull shell apart; then scoop egg out with spoon.

STEAMED EGGS WITH CORIANDER

Steps:

• Boil the water 5 minutes and allow it to cool until lukewarm. (This is to drive out the dissolved air, preventing the formation of bubbles in the finished custard.)
• Beat eggs gently until just mixed. Combine beaten eggs with the water. Add Sherry, salt, pepper, sesame oil and sugar. Stir to mix well, but do not beat.
• Strain this mixture into a flat-bottomed, 2-quart baking dish (or into a deeper, narrower dish that will fit your steamer). Add coriander leaves and scallions and stir to distribute them throughout the liquid. Cover and steam 10 to 20 minutes, or until custard is set in the center. (A deeper dish will require the longer steaming.)
• Remove the dish from the steamer and uncover. Pour soy sauce on top of the custard, tilt the dish to distribute the sauce evenly and serve with white rice.

SOFT BOILED EGGS WITH SALTINES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil and carefully lower the eggs into the water. Once water boils again, boil the eggs for approximately 3 1/2 minutes. (The eggs should be slightly runny but not hard-boiled.)
• Drain. Use a clean towel to handle the eggs and gently tap in half. Scoop out the egg using a spoon and place into a small bowl. Repeat.
• For each soft-boiled egg serving, I would guess that we used about 3-4 saltines. If you wish you can lightly butter the saltines, in which case you would break the crackers up with a knife. For unbuttered saltines, crush the saltine crackers lightly with your hands and place in the bowl with the shelled eggs.
• Using a fork, mix well; breaking up the eggs into small pieces. Season to taste with cracked black pepper and serve immediately.

SOFT-COOKED EGGS WITH CORIANDER SALT

Steps:

• Toast coriander seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Add salt and pepper, and finely grind together.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Gently place eggs in water, and simmer 4 minutes. Remove from water, and place, wide side down, in 6 egg cups or ramekins. Serve with coriander salt.
