Egg curry

This was a new way that I learnt from Shilpa's site. I really liked the taste of the curry. It was delicious.

Ingredients

4 boiled eggs
2 tbl spn fresh/frozen coconut
1/2 tea spn coriander seeds
1/2 tea spn cumin seeds
1/4 tea spn fenugreek seeds
A pinch turmeric
4-5 red chilies
Ghee/oil
1/2 cup + 1/4 cup onion
1/4 cup + 1/4 cup tomato(optional)
4-5 curry leaves(optional)
1/2 tea spn chopped garlic
Salt

Method

Heat oil and fry coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, red chilies, turmeric, garlic and 1/2 cup onion. When onion turns translucent, add 1/4 cup tomato and fry for few minutes. Grind to a paste along with coconut.

Cook the ground paste with remaining 1/4 cup tomatoes. When it starts boiling, slip in the halved boiled eggs and salt. Cook for about 5 mins. Take off the heat.

In a pan, heat ghee and fry remaining 1/4 cup onions and curry leaves. When the onions turn brownish, add this to the cooked gravy. Close the lid.
Serve hot with rice.

Egg puffs

I got this recipe and modified it a bit :) But it was yummy!


Ingredients

1 Puff Pastry sheet, thawed for atleast 30 minutes - Pilsbury is good
4 hard boiled Eggs, cut into halves, lengthwise

For Onion Masala

1 tbsp Oil
1 medium Onion, cut into thin slices
Salt to taste
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1/2 tsp Garam Masala
1/8 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Red Chilli powder
fresh Cilantro leaves

Method

1. To prepare Onion Masala, heat oil in a pan, toss cumin seeds and onion, saute until golden brown. Then add salt, turmeric, garam masala and red chilli powder. Mix well and finally add the cilantro leaves. Keep aside.

2. Cut the thawed puff pastry into 6 squares each approximately about 3.5 inches wide by 5 inches long.

3. Place a spoonful of onion masala in the middle and then an halved egg, cut side down.

4. Fold the two ends of the strip, so that it encloses the egg (as shown in the pic). Seal the edges by applying very little water or pressing with a fork.

5. Preheat oven for 400 deg and Bake these for about 30 minutes. Serve hot with ketchup!
