Instructions
 

Prepare the Aromatics

  • Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the bay leaf and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Sauté Vegetables

  • Add the chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and become slightly mushy, about 5-7 minutes.

Build the Flavor

  • Stir in the turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant and well combined.

Create the Curry Base

  • Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the oil starts to separate from the sauce. Repeat this process 2-3 times, adding more water as needed, until you achieve a smooth, thick sauce.

Add the Eggs

  • Gently add the hard-boiled, sliced eggs to the curry. Add a splash of water to prevent sticking and simmer for 2 minutes to heat through. Remove from heat.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve your delicious Egg Curry hot with steamed rice, naan bread, or roti.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Egg Curry:

  • For extra flavor, use a combination of vegetable oil and ghee (clarified butter).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing the vegetables. Work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder to control the spiciness of the curry to your liking.
  • For a richer curry, simmer the sauce for a longer period to allow the flavors to meld together.
