South Indian egg curry

If we are out of time and need to cook something really delicious quickly, the one which comes to our mind are eggs. Eggs are not only easy to cook but it also makes the dish taste delicious.

We South Indians do different varieties of egg curries and mostly they are coconut based. Coconuts are not only good for health, it also gives a rich and creamy texture to the curry.

We used to do curries with both boiled as well as uncooked eggs. Here for the recipe, we are going to use the boiled eggs. But if you wish, you can break open one or two eggs directly into the curry when it is boiling. Once the curry is ready, the eggs will get cooked perfectly and will taste so good than the boiled eggs.

This is a perfect combination for parotta, biryani, roti, rice, idli, dosa and chapathi. Literally you can have this as a side dish for anything.

How to cook perfect hard-boiled eggs

Place the eggs in a pot and add water. The water should be about an inch over the eggs.

Let the flame be medium and bring the water to a boil. Let it boil for few minutes. Turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Do not disturb this for about 10 minutes.

Now take some ice and water in a big bowl.

After 10 mins take the eggs and submerge them in the cold water. Leave them there until they are cold. Then peel to get a perfect hard boiled eggs every time.

For egg curry you can take the eggs a little earlier. They will get cooked a bit when you add them into the curry.
