Egg and Dahi Curry
Boiled eggs in a tangy yoghurt (dahi) curry with a light tadka — a gentle, cooling dinner for warm evenings.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs, boiled and peeled
- 1 cup yoghurt, whisked
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 dried red chillies
- Fresh coriander for garnish
Method
- Heat oil and fry the onion until golden. Add ginger-garlic paste, tomato and spices. Cook 5 minutes.
- Lower the heat and add the whisked yoghurt a spoon at a time, stirring constantly so it does not split.
- Add 1/2 cup of water and simmer gently for 8 minutes — do not boil hard.
- Add the halved boiled eggs and simmer 3 minutes.
- Heat a little oil, fry the cumin seeds and dried red chillies, and pour over the curry. Garnish with coriander and serve hot with roti.
