Spicy Masala Egg

Spicy Masala Egg

Egg is a versatile cooking ingredient. Many people who do not eat meat eat eggs.
Eggs Cooked in a Spicy Roasted Masala Gravy. I love eggs in any form.

 

Ingredients:::

• Egg ( hard boiled ) – 9 Eggs (As many as you need).
• Onion – 4 large ( chopped roughly )
• Tomato – 2 large ( chopped roughly )
• Ginger paste – 2 tsp
• Garlic paste – 2 tsp
• Cumin powder ( or paste ) – 2 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric paste ( or powder ) – 2 tsp
• Red chili powder – 2 1/2 tbsp
• Salt – as needed
• Cinnamon stick ( 1 1/2 inch )
• Green cardamom – 3
• Ghee ( Clarified butter ) – 2 tsp
• Garam Masala ( cinnamon powder+cardamom powder+clove powder in equal parts ) – 1 tsp
• Cooking oil – 4 tbsp

Method:::

1. Heat oil in a pan. Make a single small cut in each egg but don’t divide them entirely. This is to avoid possibility of  sputtering when added to hot oil. 
2. Fry the eggs lightly till they turn golden, remove from oil and keep aside
3. Now throw in the cinnamon stick and the cardamoms in the oil, fry for 1-2 minutes, be careful not to burn them
4. Add onion and fry until they become somewhat pink. It may take 4-5 minutes on high flame
5. Add ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric paste ( or powder ), cumin powder, red chili powder, salt and mix well 
6. And saute for 6-7 minutes or until the raw smell goes away. In this process if it sticks too much in the pan add very little water, be careful not to add too much water or else the spice mixture will not give the desired taste
7. Now add tomato and crush them with your spatula, saute for 2-3 minutes
8. Add the eggs and move them carefully to mix well with the whole mixture.
9. Add ghee, garam masala and 1-2 cups of water. 
10. Cook covered in medium flame until you get a thick gravy. It may take 8-10 minutes
11. Remove from heat and 
12. Enjoy with hot rice, roti or paratha or whatever suites you.
