CURRY EGGS OVER RICE (FOR LEFTOVER HARD BOILED EGGS)



Curry Eggs over Rice (For Leftover Hard Boiled Eggs) image

A delicious main dish that uses up those leftover hard boiled eggs from Easter. The lady who prepared this on the show said that her mother used to make this dish often during Lent. I adapted this recipe from one I saw on "Calling All Cooks" on Food Network. This recipe halves beautifully. This is not a particularly spicy dish, just rich in flavor. (Note:There is no curry powder in this recipe - you are essentially making your own blend using various spices.)

EGG CURRY



Egg Curry image

Food has always been politicized in India, a person's diet often revealing the specifics of her cultural identity. And under the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the surge of pro-vegetarian Hindu nationalism, even the simple practice of serving eggs at school lunch has become fraught. But eggs have long been an important source of nutrition across the country, and form the base of many classic regional dishes. In Andhra Pradesh, this spicy, tomato-rich egg curry would have firmer, more crumbly yolks (boiled for about 11 or 12 minutes), but I like to cook them a little softer (8 minutes, max).

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
2 small cinnamon sticks
6 green cardamom pods
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
6 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
6 to 8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
Handful of small, tender fresh cilantro stems

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until evenly caramelized and light brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and fry, stirring occasionally, another 4 minutes. Add the cinnamon and cardamom. When the spices start to toast, after about 2 minutes, stir in the coriander, turmeric and peppercorns.
  • Add the tomatoes, salt and 1 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the fat rises to the top, about 15 minutes. Stir in the garam masala and lower the heat. If the sauce isn't runny, stir in 1/2 cup water.
  • Add all but 2 of the eggs and stir gently. Halve the remaining eggs lengthwise and arrange on top, yolk-side up. Heat until the eggs are warmed through, then top with cilantro.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use coconut milk instead of water.
  • Add a tablespoon of fish sauce for an extra umami kick.
  • If you like it spicy, add a chopped chili pepper or a teaspoon of chili paste.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the eggs and add more vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas.
  • Serve with a side of rice, naan bread, or roti.

Conclusion:

This curry egg recipe is a quick and easy way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. It's a flavorful and satisfying dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
