Egg - Mango Curry

Egg curry can be made in many different ways.  This is a trissur style tangy egg curry which goes well with rice. 

Ingredients

Eggs - 5  hard-boiled

Onion - 1 small sliced

Green mango pieces - 1/2 cup sliced (I used frozen mangoes)

Green chillies - 2 sliced

Ginger - 1 inch piece chopped fine

Curry leaves - 1 sprig

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder - 2 tsp

Thick coconut milk - 1/2 cup

Pearl onion - 3

Salt - To taste

Method

1.  Mix together the  onion, mango, green chillies, ginger, curry leaves, turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, salt and 1 cup of water. Cover with lid, bring it to a boil and cook for 10 - 15 mts at medium heat. 

 

 

2.  When the onion and green mangoes are done lower the heat and add the thick coconut milk. Now add the eggs (make gashes on the eggs if you want)  and simmer for 10 more minutes or till you achieve the desired consistency. 

3.  Heat oil in another pan and add the sliced pearl onions, brown them. Pour it over the curry and mix well. Serve with rice.

Tips:

 

1.  If the mango is less sour, you can add some tomato paste or lemon juice.

 

2.  You can also add ground coconut paste instead of coconut milk.
