Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Organic Eggs
  • 3 Large tomatoes
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 1 inch sized Ginger
  • 3-4 Garlic pods
  • 3-4 Fresh curry leaves
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) peanut oil
  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 2 tbsp freshly grated coconut
  • 4-5 Dry Red chillies

  • 1/4 tsp peppercorns
  • 1 tbsp tamarind paste

Instructions

  1. Grind the coconut, red chilies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, peppercorns, and tamarind paste to a smooth paste using a mortar and pestle, adding a tablespoon of water as needed. Set aside.
  2. Heat some oil in a wide pan. Add chopped ginger, garlic, and curry leaves; fry until brown.
  3. Add chopped onions and fry until translucent.
  4. Add the ground paste to the onions; fry until the raw smell is gone over low heat. Add chopped tomatoes, salt, spices, and sugar; stir.

  6. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of peanut oil.
  • If you don’t have fresh curry leaves, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of curry powder.
  • Leftover curry can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated gently.
