Plain eggs halves look beautiful and tasty in this colorful curry – mainly prepared with tomatoes… lot of tomatoes.
Recipe:
6 Eggs, boiled, peeled and each cut into two halves
6 to 8 big ripe juicy tomatoes, cut into small pieces
One small piece of coconut, powdered
1 tablespoon of fresh dhania-jeera(coriander-cumin) powder
4 cloves of garlic – finely minced
Salt and red chilli powder to taste or 1 tsp each
Preparation:
First do the popu (frying few mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves in 1 tsp of oil) in a pan. To it, add all the above ingredients except eggs. Cook it covered on high heat until the tomatoes are softened. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes to thicken the gravy. Don’t add water. The gravy must be all tomatoes and coconut. Just before you turn off the heat, add the boiled eggs and mix it once.
When prepared with fresh ripe tomatoes, with or without the eggs, this will turn into one rich and satisfying curry. The taste of cooked and thickened tomato juice with lightly added Indian masala just explodes in your mouth when eaten with plain rice or with rotis.
tried ur recipe 2day & it was really good

ooh – I’d forgotten all about egg korma. I used to eat back in the days when I was a vegetarian. Maybe I should give it another try soon!

Thanks.
Indira replies:
Thanks Jayasri. That’s my photo and the newspaper stole it.
Are you by any chance a lawyer or law student? Do you want to do some probono work on behalf of my blog and send some lawyer notices to this newspaper?:)

Hi ,
I prepared Egg kurma looking at the procedure in this page.
As part of regular cooking style i put onions in that , Apart from that everything looked okay.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Can you tell me the sites where I can find more and more recipes of andhra and south indian .
Although to learn the ones in this page would take a lot time 🙂 :).
Take care of yourself,
Sandeep

Hey Indira, I am an Andhrite, recently married and now in Colorado. I tried out this recipe today and t’was the tastiest egg curry I and my husband have had in a longtime. Chaala Chaala Bagundi! I am going to make it soon for my mother who’s visiting from India next month. Will give you due credit though, she would never believe me otherwise:-)

I have tried your Roasted Red Capsicum Chutney but added more content of curd.
I have used it as a salad dressing with fresh vegis and its taste very good.
Thanks

no, no, use less tomatoes, more onions, try a little cashew, maybe i am bastardising the recipe, but cashew, watermelon seeds, sesame, saunf and curds do the trick. Sorry for offending your recipe, but tomatoes makes it too tangy and sour for taste. Keep the faith, and don’t be let down by this. Regards.

When I was in Hyderabad my hosts made me a breakfast similar to this, but the eggs were poached in the curry. Do you know of a recipe like that? Do you think it would work if I just poached the eggs in this?
