Tomato and egg curry

Posted by Ammu | Labels:

Is tomato a fruit or vegetable??I guess, lets ravel in its wonders and let the question be solved by the intelligentia. I love tomato, just for its multi purpose, you add tomato to any curry, it would bring its own flavour and add life to the curry. I love eggs too, adding beaten eggs to any vegetable preparation would bring its own non-veg flavour to the curry. Hence for this sole purpose, this curry is my all-time favourite, and believe me very easy and quick to prepare.

Ingredients:

1.Tomatoes - 2
2.Egg -1
3.Onions - 1
4.Green chilly - 1
5.Seasoning(Mustard seeds, Cumin seeds, dried chilly, Curry leaves,white lentils,split dal)
6. Ginger and Garlic paste - a pinch
7. Salt - to taste
8. Turmeric powder - a pinch
9. Chilly powder - 1 teaspoon
10. Garam masala powder - 1 teaspoon

Preparation:

1. Heat the kadai, and heat the oil, add the mustard seeds to the oil, wait them to splutter, add cumin seeds and dried chilly, curry leaves, white lentils and split dal for seasoning, roast them golden brown.

2. Add onions and fry them till they are transparent. Add ginger & garlic paste, fry it till it loses its raw flavour and when the paste keeps sticking to the kadai add the finely chopped tomato to the onions,

3. Add a little water, allow the tomatoes to cook for few min, now add salt, turmeric powder and chilly powder and allow it to cook for 1-3 min.

4. Add the beaten egg and keep the kadai on a medium flame, and keep stirring continously, till the beaten egg gets crumbled into boiled pieces and mix the eggs with the tomato curry and add garam masala powder, mix it well annd serve it hot. You can add mint leaves before serving too.
