If I say that the pride of Indian highways are the roadside dhabas, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration, because while driving on the road, we always look for that unique flavor that we can remember or enjoy over and over again at the same place. The method of making egg curry is quite similar to other Indian curries. It is often observed that the preparation of different types of curries begins with a gravy made from tomatoes and onions.

Eggs are rich in protein, so you can include them in your daily menu recipes. To make egg curry, the first step is to choose fresh eggs.

How to identify if eggs are fresh or not:
Take a glass of water and drop an egg into it. If the egg is fresh, it will sink to the bottom of the glass. If the egg is a few days old, it will float on top of the water. This is a simple way to check the freshness of eggs before making your egg curry.

Dhaba Style Egg Curry can be served as a main dish, and you can pair it with side dishes like raita, salad, or pickles for added flavor.

There is often confusion about whether eggs are vegetarian or non-vegetarian, but if you’re making egg curry for the first time in the kitchen, don’t worry! It’s very easy to make, and you’ll end up making a delicious curry on your very first try. Just be ready with the ingredients listed in the recipe.

How to boil eggs

To boil the eggs, take a large bowl and fill it with water. The water should be enough to fully submerge the eggs. Once the water begins to boil, reduce the flame. Using a spoon, gently place each egg into the water one by one. Increase the flame again. The eggs will be boiled in 10–12 minutes. Once done, turn off the gas. The boiled eggs are now ready for the egg curry.

How to make egg curry

To make egg curry, first, prepare a paste of onions, ginger, and garlic. Similarly, make a puree of tomatoes. Take a non-stick pan, add oil, and heat it. Once the oil is hot, add the ginger and onion paste. Cook it until it turns light brown. Now, add the tomato puree to this paste. Cook the puree until the oil starts to separate. Add salt, turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder to the mixture and stir well. Then, add a little water and bring it to a boil on high heat for 2–3 minutes. Lower the flame and let the gravy thicken.

Meanwhile, cut the boiled eggs into halves. Once the gravy thickens, add the eggs and cook for another 2–5 minutes. Finally, garnish with garam masala and fresh coriander leaves. Your egg curry is ready to serve.

Tips

If you want a spicier egg curry, you can add whole garam masalas like bay leaves, cloves, and black pepper to the gravy.

You can adjust the quantity of the spices according to your taste preference to make it more or less spicy.
