Desi Anda Curry

Cooking Time: 20 mins                                       Servings: 3-6
Preparation Time: 10 mins                 Category: Veg (I consider Egg as veg :) )
There are several methods to prepare egg curry. The one am sharing is one of the simplest and easy methods to cook. This dish is found mainly on Highway Dhabas and not in major city restaurants. Egg is a very  popular and versatile cooking ingredient and is supposed to be bachelor's best friend in kitchen :-) 

Ingredients:
---------------
Desi Anda Curry
Eggs - 6 to 8

Onions - 250 gms
Tomatoes - 150 gms
Mustard seeds - 1 tea spoon
Cumin seeds (jeera) - 1 tea spoon
Refined oil - 2 Table spoons
Salt  - 2-3 tea spoons
Turmeric - 1/2 tea spoon
Ginger & garlic paste - 2 tea spoons
Chilly powder - 1 table spoon
Coriander - 1 finely chopped
Finely chopped green chillies - 5
Garam Masala - 1 tea spoon.


Preparation:
---------------
  • Boil eggs and once they are done, remove their shell and keep them aside.
  • Finely chop onions and tomatoes.
  • Heat oil in a kadai and add mustard & jeera. After a minute add finely chopped onions & cook them untill they turn golden brown.
  • Now add tomotoes and cook them for 10 mins.
  • Add turmeric, chilly powder, ginger garlic paste & salt to taste and cook for another 2 mins
  • Add 3 small cups of some water, mix and close the kadai and cook for another 10 mins.
  • Now add the boiled eggs to this gravy and cook for 10 mins
  • Add garam masala, mix it well and turn off the stove.
  • Garnish with coriander and serve hot with chapati, plain or ghee rice. 
Instead of adding boiled eggs, you can beat them and add directly to the gravy. Wait for couple of minutes and then mix it well. Cook for about 5-10 mins on low flame before adding garam masala.
