• Egg Masala

  • From: jkpriyadarshini1984
  • Description:

    hi friends,

    Thought to share this recipe since long but was lazy all the while to type it. Im sure many may be aware of this since it is so simple and it the best choice when u don really have anythng in ur mind to cook. Also, when u really don have any vegges in ur refrigerator and feel lazy to go till the most nearest grocery store..this reciepe is surely a saver!

    My husband calls this dish as Somberi Samayal meaning Lazy Cooking since he knows whenever i make this...i have been lazy all day!

    I call it Egg Masala..i really don know wat else can this be called. My mum used to make this often since i loved it and thought that it was some tough dish.

    Try it and name it as u like. We have it chappatis and Parathas.

    Ingredients :

    Egg - 5, Hard boiled

    Tomato - 2 , chopped, Red ripe ones. I prefer Roma  Toms simply because they are the cheapest !

     Onion - 1/2 of a big yellow variety, thinly sliced

    Garlic - 3 fat cloves,roughly crushed

    Green chillies - 2 , Slit. Depending upon the spice level. I use thai green chilly.

    Oil - 2 tsp

    Mustard seeds - 1/4 spoon

    Turmeric powder - Less than 1/4 spoon

    Coriander powder - 1/2 spoon

    Salt - To taste

    Water - 1/4 glass

    Curry leaves - 5 to 6

    Coriander - for garnishing

    Method :

    1. Keep the eggs for boiling before u start the masala since it would save time. I usually boil it for 20 mins . By the time i cut the vegges, the egg is half done.

    2. Take a non stick kadai , on medium heat. Add in the oil, and allow it to heat up.

    3. Add in the mustard seeds. Once they start to pop, add in the curry leaves, garlic. After about a minute or so the garlic is well sauted in oil, add in the sliced onion.

    4. Salt the onion little if u wish as taught by hetal and Anuja :-)

    5. Add the green chillies and allow the onion to become translucent. Basically,i look out for a little browning of the onion.

    6. Once onion is done, add in the tomato. Make sure u use real ripe ones. Add in the required salt, coriander powder,turmeric powderand mix well.

    7.  Let the tomato cook for 6-7 minutes. Basically, look out for it to become soft enough so that it mashes up when u stir it with a laddle. Keep mixing it in btw to avoid burning.

    8. In the mean time, the 20 minutes of egg boiling will be almost done. You can cool it down and peel it.

    9. Check on the tomatoes. If u feel it is soft enough, add in little water. I use about 1/4 glass. Basically, u don want it to be gravy but since the tomatoes may dry out, u introduce some moisture by adding water.

    10. After adding water, check on the salt, spice level etc. You can add in green chilly if u wish. Make sure, this masala is to ur taste since after u add in the eggs, you should not mix around. The egg yolk will fall off and irritate ur presentation. If u think that ur masala is still pretty dry , add little water.

    11. Once the masala is ready and as per ur taste buds, switch off the stove. In a serving bowl, layer some masala first. Now, slice the egg into 2 and place it on it with the egg yolk facing up. Layer the left over masala on top of each sliced egg.

    12. Garnish with coriander leaves. Done!

     

    Tip:

    1. The onion tomato ratio can be altered depending upon how many u are serving. This reciepe may be a little sweet but then it wont really bother u much.

    2. You don have to cook it till the oil seperates from the tomatoes. It is enough if they are soft and cooked. Do use real ripe ones..that is the key taste to this reciepe-

    3. The spices including coriander powder can  be according to ur taste. I eyeball it always...so measurement is approx !

    4. The chilly i use is hot.  So, Please adjust as per ur liking. Good to start off with one or even half !  

    5. I usually make dinner in the late afternoon itslf ..so the masala soaks nicely in the egg and add to the taste.

    Hope u guys will like it. Do let me know if i ve left out anything
