Method
- Peel the boiled eggs and make a few shallow slits on each so they soak up the masala well, then keep aside.
- Grate the coconut and grind it to a smooth paste along with the chopped tomato, ginger and garlic.
- Heat the coconut oil in a kadai, add the mustard seeds and urad dal, and let them splutter and turn golden.
- Add the curry leaves and chopped onion, and saute until the onion turns soft and light brown.
- Add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander powder, and fry for a few seconds until the raw smell of the spices goes away.
- Pour in the ground coconut-tomato paste along with a little water, add salt, and simmer on medium-low flame until the oil begins to separate from the masala.
- Slide in the boiled eggs and simmer gently for a few minutes so the eggs absorb the flavour of the curry.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve the North Karnataka style egg curry hot with rice or roti.
