Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
- 1 small, slit lengthwise Green chili
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk gently until combined, then set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chili. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the finely chopped tomato and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Mix well and cook for 1 minute until the spices are aromatic.
Pour in 1 cup of water and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the gravy, stirring gently to form strands or curds. Do not overmix, as the eggs should remain soft.
Season with salt and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooked and the gravy thickens slightly.
Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the egg gravy hot over steamed rice or with toasted bread.
