This sunday's lunch ended up with simple egg curry as last friday we had our lunch@Barbeque Nation.sri loves the concept of 'Food on Fire'.So he is a frequent visitor to Barbeque.Had all sorts of non veg(mutton,chicken,fish,prawn) starters so planned to have a very light meal on sunday. This curry adapted from my mom is a favorite curry for Sri and me.

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 6 fenu greek seeds

  • pinch of turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder

  • 8-10 garlic pods
  • 2 tbsp grated dry coconut
  • lemon sized tamarind soaked and juiced
  • few curry leaves
  • few cilantro leaves
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp oil

  2. Grind cumin and fenu greek seeds into coarse powder.
  3. To this add onions,garlics,coriander powder,grated coconut,red chilli powder,salt and few spoons of water.Grind into fine paste.
  4. Now in a vessel add oil and once it is hot add the ground paste and roast for 3 minutes until the rawness disappears.
  5. Make slits on boiled eggs so that the gravy penetrates inside the egg and add the eggs to the gravy.
  6. Add tamarind paste (add some water if you want the gravy to be thinner) and cook for 5 more minutes.
