Gulai Telur Terong Ungu Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 large eggplant (cut into small pieces)
  • 2 shallots
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of turmeric
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 stalk lemongrass (bruised and cut)
  • 2-3 small red chilies (sliced)
  • 1 stalk green onion (sliced)
  • 65 ml coconut milk

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Eggs:

    • Hard-boil the eggs until they are cooked through, then set them aside to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set them aside.
  2. Make the Spice Paste:

    • In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, ginger, and turmeric. Blend until you have a smooth paste.
  3. Sauté the Spice Paste:

    • Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly golden.
  4. Add Aromatics:

    • To the pan with the spice paste, add the kaffir lime leaves, bay leaf, and bruised lemongrass. Stir for a minute to release their flavors.
  5. Cook the Eggplant:

    • Add the diced eggplant to the pan and stir to coat with the spice paste. Cook for a few minutes until the eggplant begins to soften.
  6. Combine Ingredients:

    • Gently add the boiled eggs to the pan. Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, then stir in the coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Finish the Dish:

    • Add the sliced green onions and red chilies. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional few minutes until the eggplant is tender and the flavors meld together.
  8. Serve:

    • Once cooked, remove the pan from heat. Serve the Gulai Telur Terong Ungu hot, ideally with steamed rice.

Enjoy this flavorful and aromatic Indonesian dish, perfect for a hearty meal with a touch of exotic flair.
