Instructions:
-
Prepare the Masala:
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. -
Spice It Up:
Add the red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Sauté the spices for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the powders blend well with the onions. -
Tomatoes & Gravy:
Stir in the homemade tomato puree, and cook covered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. -
Coconut Milk:
Add coconut milk and stir well. Reduce heat to low and allow the curry to simmer, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Adjust the consistency with water if needed and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. -
Add the Eggs:
Carefully break the eggs directly into the gravy, spacing them out in four different spots. Sprinkle some salt on the yolks. Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs reach your preferred consistency.- For a half-cooked yolk, reduce the cooking time to 6 minutes.
- For a runny yolk, cover and cook for just 4 minutes or until the egg whites are fully cooked, and a thin film forms over the yolk.
-
Garnish & Serve:
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, garnish the curry with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot.
