(Spicy egg curry)
There are so many versions of anda curry that I have tried, but this one is obviously my favorite. For one time, I agree there cant be a 'perfect' anda curry recipe and everyone has their own version, but well if you are trying it for the first time or want to try a different recipe, trust this one that I developed!
You will need: (serves 3-4)
6 eggs, hard boiled and peeled (to get perfectly boiled eggs heat eggs and water let them boil for 11 minutes (count 11 minutes after water starts boiling))
2 onions, peeled and halved
1 large tomato, chopped
2 heaped tbsps grated dry coconut
1 tbsp corriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 small piece of ginger
3-4 garlic cloves
3-4 dried red chillies soaked in warm water for 15-20 minutes
1 tsp Red masala (malvani masala)
1 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp oil
hot water
salt
1. lightly brush oil on the onions and roast them on direct flame (as shown in the picture)
2. on a small pan, toast the coriander seeds followed by cumin seeds, and transfer on a dry plate
3. toast grated dry coconut on the same hot pan
4. Once the toasted things cool down, transfer the to the grinder bowl along with the roasted onions, soaked red chillies, ginger, garlic and tomato
5. Grind everything to a fine paste. Add a little water from the soaked chillies, if needed.
6. In a frying pan, take the oil and heat it
7. Add the ground 'masala' to the oil and fry. There has to be enough oil, for the masala to get the right flavor. If 2 tbsp doesnt seem enough, add more.
8. Once the ground mixture cooks, gives off a nice aroma and leaves oil on the sides, add red chili powder, salt, turmeric and malwani (red) masala
9. Peel and slit the boild eggs as shown in the picture (OR you could cut them in half or quarters, just know that the yolk will dissolve in the curry, if you do so)
10. Once the ground mixture gives off a cooked, fried aroma, add some hot water (hot water just blends better instantly in curries..) and mix well, till you get a smooth homogenous curry.
11. add the eggs and boil till the curry leaves oil on top.
12. Garnish with cilantro and a dash of lime
13. Serve with pav (bread), chapati or bhakri :)
