Poached Egg Curry

Some days back I wanted to make egg curry and was a little tired of making my regular curry. So wanted to make it in a different way this time, hence I started browsing the net. There, I came across this blog called 100 recipes.blogspot.com. This is another interesting blog I came across, it has some unique recipes.

When I saw the recipe of poached egg curry, I was not really sure how it would taste with such few ingredients. Also I did not have poppy seeds with me but I decided to go with the flow and to my surprise, it came out really well. I just made a few simple changes to the recipe, keeping everything else the same. It turned out be a sweet and sour gravy.

Preparation Time : 20 minutes

Serves : 2

Ingredients :

3 eggs

1/2 medium onion finely chopped

11/2 tbsp cashewnut powder

1 tbsp tomato ketchup

2 cloves of garlic chopped

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp red chilli powder

1 green chilli finely chopped

3 tbsp oil

salt to taste

Method :

• Heat oil in a pan and fry the onions till they are golden brown
• Mix tomato ketchup, cashew nut powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, garlic, green chillies, red chilli powder and salt together and add this to the onions.
• Fry this nicely for about 5 minutes
• Now add one cup water to the above mixture.
• Simmer and bring the gravy to a boil.
• Now carefully break the eggs and drop them raw into the boiling gravy. Be very careful not to drop some pieces of shells inside.
• Sprinkle a bit of salt on the yolk while it is still soft to ensure that the eggs are seasoned well.
• Now cover and cook for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are completely cooked
• If you find the gravy too thick, then adjust by adding some water.
• Remove from heat and serve with some steamed rice.
