Easter Egg Curry

9 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 1 and 1/2 cups chopped tomato (ripe and juicy if possible)
  • 1/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 and 1/4 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper/hot paprika (optional)
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Rub the quarter tsp of turmeric and the sugar all over the eggs. This step gives a lovely color and helps in the next step.
  2. 2
    Heat oil till very hot. Add the eggs carefully and fry them until they develop blistered spots all over. Splatter alert! Use a splatter-screen. Drain and set aside.
  3. 3
    Add the cumin seeds in the oil and fry till brown.
  4. 4
    Add the tomatoes. If your tomatoes were juicy, then you probably have enough liquid in the pan for the next step.
  5. 5
    Mix in the spice powders and salt. If your tomatoes were not juicy, then first make a slurry with a quarter cup of water before adding the spice powders.
  6. 6
    Stir-fry until the liquid is reduced and the oil starts to float to the top. This step is very important for the development of flavor in Indian curries.
  7. 7
    Gently add your eggs and fold in. Remove from heat. Serve with any kind of bread (flat or otherwise).
