Instructions
 

Prepare the Eggs and Potatoes

  • Shallow fry the hard-boiled eggs and diced potatoes in mustard oil until lightly browned. Add turmeric powder and salt. Set aside.

Make the Spice Paste

  • In a blender, combine ginger, green chilies, and a little water to form a smooth paste.

Sauté the Spices

  • Heat the remaining mustard oil in the same pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add the spice paste and sauté for a minute until fragrant.

Simmer the Curry

  • Stir in coriander powder, chili powder, cinnamon powder, and tomato puree. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the oil starts to separate. Add salt and cashews. Stir in coconut cream and coconut milk. Add water if needed for desired consistency.

Combine and Finish

  • Add the fried eggs and potatoes to the curry. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Garnish and serve hot with chapatis, naan, or rice.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Makhmali Egg Curry

  • For a richer flavor, soak the cashews in warm water for 30 minutes before blending or using.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spice level. For a milder curry, use fewer chilies.
  • If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute with an additional 1/4 cup of coconut cream.
  • For a thicker curry, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to allow the sauce to reduce.
