Rekha's Notes
Watch Video of egg curry recipe in Hindi.
- Make 3-4 slits on the boiled eggs to help the ‘Tari’ or curry to seep in them.
- The slow cooking is essential for the ingredients to cook well and release maximum flavor.
- For making the onion paste use 1 medium onion to 2 medium-size green chili.
- Using Kashmiri red chili powder gives the curry a rich reddish color. Kashmiri Lal Mirch is not fiery so we have used the green chilies.
- When the gravy masalas are roasted well it releases oil and leaves the sides of the pan. That is the sign of a well-roasted masala base ( bhuna masala) for your curry.
