Bengal, India, where I was born and raised before settling in the US is a state where anything eggs is beloved!

Bengalis absolutely adore eggs and eat it almost every day in various forms.

Sometimes it’s an omelette, sometimes as boiled, sometimes it’s an egg curry, sometimes it’s an egg croquette, sometimes it’s an omelette curry, sometimes it’s inside a sandwich, sometimes inside a wrap, and the list can go on and on😊

This is a recipe that was quite the staple in my family growing up, and I simply love it. It’s such a comfort food for me and I can guarantee you will love it too! Not only is it delicious, it’s also very budget friendly.👍🙌

So let’s get into it! 😊

Steps

25 minutes

1

Gather your ingredients. Hard boil the eggs. Apply a little turmeric, chili powder and a pinch of salt to the eggs and shallow fry till red on the outside.
2

In the same pan shallow fry the potatoes and keep aside.
3

Heat oil in a pan, add the garlic and the onion and saute on medium for two minutes. It will brown slightly. Add the turmeric powder, chili powder, cumin powder, allspice powder, salt and coriander powder, and sauté for a minute more. If you need a little bit more oil you can add or you can also sprinkle some water so the spices cook well. Add the tomato paste and the potatoes and mix well stirring for 30 seconds or so. Adjust heat from medium to medium low so spices don’t burn.
4

Add the water and the sautéed eggs and bring to a boil. Then cover and cook on low till the potatoes are done, probably 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle a bit of garam masala, stir gently to mix the garam masala into the curry or shake the pan gently, garnish with cilantro and turn the heat off. Keep covered for three minutes, so the spices blend nicely and then serve with either rice or any flatbread. I usually serve it with rice.
5

Enjoy!
