Along with apples, eggs are considered to be another food item that would help keep the doctor away.

Here we have a simple and easy egg curry recipe -

Ingredients

5 Hard Boiled Eggs, peeled
1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
1 Cinnamon (small stick)
3 pods Cardamom
5 Peppercorns (lightly smashed)
2 – 3 Green Chillies
7 Garlic cloves (smashed and roughly chopped) or garlic paste
2 medium sized Onions (finely chopped)
3 large Tomatoes (finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder Red
1/4 cup Tamarind Water (See Note 2)
1 cup thin Coconut Milk (See Note 3)
1/2 cup thick Coconut Milk
8 – 10 Curry Leaves
Salt to taste

Instructions

- In a large pan, heat coconut oil and add mustard seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, peppercorns and green chilies. Once everything starts spluttering, add ginger, garlic and onions.

- Cook till the onions turn soft and translucent and add tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, chili powder and salt.

- Let the tomatoes cook till they are pulpy and add tamarind water and thin coconut milk.

- Stir and bring this to a boil. Simmer till the gravy reduces slightly and becomes thicker. This will take about 5. At this point, add some water if you need to adjust the consistency.

- Adjust seasoning, add curry leaves and pour in the thick coconut milk. Stir a few times, without letting it come to a boil and switch off the flame.

- Drop the eggs in the curry, and cover and let it sit for five minutes before serving.
