This delicious curry dish is a healthier adaptation from a Madhur Jaffrey recipe, and is a terrific way to use leftover hard-boiled eggs. It's quick and easy, and is great for a brunch, lunch or light dinner. Just serve with rice, or mop up the delectable sauce with naan or wheat bread.
Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lukewarm water
3 tablespoons olive oil (or any healthy oil)
50 g very finely chopped onions
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (or ginger paste)
2 teaspoons tomato paste
150 ml chicken stock
300 ml skim milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
6 -8 hardboiled egg, peeled and cut lengthways in half
Directions:
1. Mix cayenne, cumin, garam masala, coriander, lemon juice, salt and black pepper with warm water in a cup. Mix into a paste and set aside.
2. Put the oil in a large frying pan and set it over a medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion, stirring until golden brown. Add the ginger, stir to incorporate, then add the spice paste. Stir, and allow mixture to cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, chicken stock, milk and fresh cilantro, and bring to a simmer. Cover pan, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
3. Lay the egg halves in the pan in a single layer yolk-side up, and spoon the sauce over the tops. Cover and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then serve.
