Boiled Egg Curry

Long time ago, a certain person name "Hussain" worked as a cook for my dad. And he introduced us to some of the delicious curries of all time. He was a very mellow person and hard working too. At that time my dad used to work in another city from where our family was actually based. So I think we went there to spend two summers and I still remember those lazy afternoons mainly because my dad didn't have TV there and so we kids had to make our imagination work to pass time. I can never forget those days!!!
                But anyway, this is one of his recipes and my all time favorite egg curry recipes. I hope you will like it too

Hussain's Egg Curry (Boiled egg curry with tomato gravy)

Boiled Egg Curry

Ingredients:

1. 6 hard boiled eggs, shelled
2. 1 medium onion chopped
3. 3-4 large ripe tomatoes chopped
4. 1 teaspoon black gram (Urad dal with skin)
5. 3/4 teaspoon each of salt, cumin, chilly powder
6. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
7. 1 tablespoon oil+ oil for frying the eggs

In a wok or pan heat about 1-2 tablespoons oil and fry the eggs (make some slits in the boiled eggs else they will splutter in your face!) and fry for 5 minutes stirring often. Drain and set aside.

If there is not enough oil, add some more. Add urad dal and cumin and fry till an aroma starts emanating. Add onions and cook till tender. Add tomatoes and cover and cook till pulpy. Add all the ingredients and tomatoes and stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve with roti or rice and Rasam
