Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 onion, finely chopped
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 medium russet potatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch chunks
1 (14.5-ounce) can cherry or diced tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
Cilantro leaves with tender stems (for serving)
1/4 cup plain yogurt
Steamed basmati rice or naan (for serving)
Special equipment
A spice mill or a mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • Grind coriander and cumin seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle to a powder.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne and cook until mixture starts to stick to bottom of skillet, about 1 minute. Add potatoes and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and toss to coat. Add 1/2 cup water and scrape up any bits in bottom of skillet. Stir in tomatoes and their juices and salt. Bring to a simmer, breaking up tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cover and cook, adding more water by the tablespoonful if necessary, until potatoes are tender, 20-25 minutes.
  • Stir to combine (it's okay, and kind of preferred, if some of the potatoes get a little smashed here). Add eggs, turn to coat in sauce, and simmer until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Divide curry among bowls and top with cilantro and yogurt. Serve with rice or naan.

North Indian in origin, I was very grateful to have found this recipe. It is very similar to what was served to us by our Bengali neighbors years ago! Serve hot with a side of thickly sliced bread.

Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 onions, peeled and quartered
3 tomatoes, quartered
2 small green chile peppers
2 teaspoons garlic paste
2 teaspoons ginger paste
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt to taste
2 cups water
1 large potato - cooked, peeled, and cut into 1-inch cubes
6 hard-cooked eggs, quartered
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions; cook and stir until onion pieces are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden, about 10 minutes more.
  • Remove pan from heat and set it aside. Transfer cooked onions to the bowl of a food processor; grind onions, tomatoes, and green chiles into a smooth paste.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onion mixture carefully, as it may spatter. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic paste, ginger paste, coriander, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until the oil begins to separate from the mixture, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour water into skillet and bring sauce to a boil. Add cubed potatoes. Gently stir in the eggs. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

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).

Categories     soups and stews, vegetables, main course

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.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TOMATO, CHEDDAR AND CILANTRO

Provided by PaulaG

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large eggs or 4 large egg substitute
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion (I use Vidalia)
1 medium plum tomato, diced
2 -4 tablespoons chopped cilantro, depending upon personal taste
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 cup coarsely shredded low-fat cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • If using whole eggs, whisk together with 2 Tbsp water until well blended, this is not necessary if using egg substitute.
  • In large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
  • Add onion and cook, stirring until golden, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to high and add diced tomto, cilantro, 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper.
  • Cook until tomato is heated through and any juices have evaporated, about 1 minute.
  • Add eggs all at once, reduce heat to medium and cook without stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Using spatula, stir the eggs from the edges of the pan toward center.
  • Continue to cook and stir gently until eggs are almost cooked, but are still moist, about 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with grated cheese and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • Divide and serve on warmed plates.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes have a sweeter and more flavorful taste, which will make your curry more delicious.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tomatoes and onions, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will result in a watery curry.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with fresh spices and has a vibrant color.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright and fresh flavor to the curry. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals.

Conclusion:

This egg curry with tomatoes and cilantro is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please the whole family. Serve it with rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
