Dimer Curry

🇮🇳 Indian

Dimer Curry — the egg doing its best work: cheap, fast, and completely forgiven by everyone. Gives you a proper meal in 30 minutes.

Prep 10 min Cook 20 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1/2 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, chopped
  • Tomato2, chopped
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Eggs4
  • Red Chili Powder1 tsp
  • Panch Phoron1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil or beat the eggs depending on the style the name asks for; a golden jacket on fried eggs is worth the extra minute.

  2. 2

    Fry the onion deep gold, add the paste, then the tomatoes and spices; bhunao until the oil separates.

  3. 3

    Add the eggs and let them sit in the masala on low for 5 minutes — eggs drink sauce slowly.

  4. 4

    Finish with cilantro and serve with roti, rice or toast, whichever the kitchen votes for.

Chef's tip

Prick boiled eggs before they go into gravy — they absorb twice as much.
