This was my Grandpa's favourite. Amma used to prepare this along with Ghee Rice. It was a combo to die for. I hardly make this egg curry because Abbas is too fond of Bong Egg Curry and also Ma is allergic to coconut. Now that she is not here, I am preparing most of the coconut based dishes and loving it. I prepared this curry along with Bong Mishti Pulao and the combination worked well. Since I used instant coconut milk powder, the curry got done with minimal efforts and time. In my attempt to further reduce the effort of de-shelling eggs, I delegated the task to Mantam only to see that I got uneven scrambled eggs mixed with petty pieces of egg shell. Sigh!
Ingredients:
Eggs - 3-4, hard boiled, de-shelled and halved
Onion - 2 medium sized, finely chopped
Tomatoes - 2 medium sized, finely chopped or pureed
Ginger-garlic-green chilli paste - 3 tbsp
Coriander leaves - a handful, finely chopped
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Coconut milk - 1 cup thick milk, 1 cup thin milk
Oil - 3 tbsp
Salt to taste
Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onions. Saute till they are translucent.
2. Add ginger garlic green chilli paste and saute till oil separates.
3. Add chopped tomatoes and keep pressing them against the pan using a spatula. Let them turn mushy and oil has to separate again.
4. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder and salt. Combine.
5. Add coconut milk and give a brief stir. (I generally switch off the flame and add coconut milk due to the fear of it curdling. Then switch on flame on sim and slowly increase.)
6. Bring it to boil, place the halved eggs, add coriander leaves and let it simmer for 6-8 mins.
7. Let the gravy stand for atleast 30 mins before serving. With time, the taste of this curry enhances like with most non veg curries.
Although when it comes to my best Bongo combo meal it is misti pulao and kosha mangsho but this egg coconut gravy sounds equally good
