Instructions
 

Prepare the Eggs

  • Heat olive oil in a pan. Gently fry the eggs until they are half-cooked. Set aside.

Sauté Aromatics and Spices

  • In the same pan, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant. Add the onion paste and sauté until golden brown.

Build the Curry

  • Add cloves, cardamom, cinnamon stick, turmeric powder, and black pepper powder. Stir for two minutes. Add the sliced tomato and cook until softened. Stir in the tomato puree, sugar, Kasuri Methi, salt, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Combine and Finish

  • Carefully add the half-fried eggs to the curry. Cook for another 5 minutes, ensuring the eggs are heated through but not overcooked. Stir in the garam masala.

Garnish and Serve

  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Half-Fried Egg Curry

  • For a richer flavor, use homemade onion and ginger-garlic pastes.
  • Adjust the amount of spices to your preference. If you like it spicier, add a pinch of red chili powder.
  • Don't overcook the eggs; they should be cooked through but still slightly runny in the center.
  • For a creamier curry, stir in a tablespoon of cream or yogurt at the end.
