Here is a dry version of poached curry that can be prepared in a jiffy as most of the ingredients are basic. It can be called a variation of egg bhurji. Instead of scrambling the eggs, just make space between the onion masala and break the eggs, top them with spices and simmer until done.
Ingredients:
Eggs .... 4 (or as needed)
Onions .. 2 medium (chopped finely)
Tomato .. 1
Green chillies .. 1-2
Coriander leaves .. handful
Garlic paste ... 1 tsp
Ginger paste .. 1 tsp
Coriander powder .. 1 tsp
Cumin powder ...... 1 tsp
Turmeric powder ... 1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder ... 1/4 tsp
Salt ............ to taste
Oil .......... 3-4 tbsps
Method:
1. In a sauce pan or skillet heat about 2 tbsps of oil.
2. Add the finely chopped onions and saute until translucent.
3. Now tip in the ginger garlic paste and green chilies. Saute.
4. Add the tomatoes and simmer until they are cooked.
5. Now add the salt and spice powders mentioned above. Stir well to mix.
6. Make space between the onion masala and spoon a little oil.
7. Break the eggs and sprinkle a little salt and spice powders.
8. Add chopped coriander leaves.
9. Cover with a lid and simmer until the eggs are done.
10. Serve with rotis or bread.

DeleteWhat a tasty and quick recipe you have made with eggs. This will be so handy for bachelors or beginners . A treat for egg lovers certainly.
ReplyDeleteTrue Priya. Easy to make and so tasty.
DeleteThis is exactly how I make it. But I flip the eggs once. This time I made it without flipping and we liked it this way as well, more like poached eggs.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked my version too.
DeleteThis is so similar to the famous shakshuka but with all the Indian spices. A filling and different way to enjoy eggs either for breakfast or for dinner. Will try this poached egg curry with onions soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right Mayuri. It is similar to Shakshuka. When our mothers made these dishes the foreign foods were not known to us.
DeleteIts my son's most favourite egg dish. And call it Indian style shakshuka. But I always use ground onion tomato and flip the eggs. Now I will make it following your recipe. Its more easy and quick process. Looks lipsmackingly delicious. Can't wait to try.
ReplyDeleteThis one is easier like bhurji where we scramble the eggs but in this we just break them and slow cook until done.
DeleteThis is very interesting, I have never tried making a curry with poached eggs. But I love eggs, so have to try this.

DeletePoached Egg Curry this dry version is our favorite too. My son calls is Egg Pizza. It goes very well with roti, paratha or bread. After reading this, I feel compelled to make this as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteLol, it's amazing how children name the dishes in their own perception.
DeleteThis is an interesting egg curry. I am sure the eggs are soft and moist with a poached egg feel in it. I am sure it will be loevely with some good flatbreads.
