Andhra Egg Gongura Curry

Ingredients

• 4 boiled eggs, peeled
• 2 cups gongura (sorrel) leaves, washed
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 green chillies, slit
• Fresh coriander for garnish

Method

1. Boil the gongura leaves in 1 cup of water for 8 minutes; drain and mash into a paste.
2. Heat oil and fry mustard seeds and cumin seeds until they crackle.
3. Add garlic, onion and tomatoes; cook for 4 minutes.
4. Add turmeric, chilli powder and salt.
5. Stir in the gongura paste and 1 cup of water; simmer for 8 minutes.
6. Add the boiled eggs and green chillies; simmer for 5 more minutes.
7. Adjust salt — gongura is naturally sour, so add salt carefully.
8. Garnish with coriander and serve with boiled rice.
