Hi there,

After a long time i am penning down . I have now come in Gurgaon, all settled will keep trying lot of recipes everyday from now on. Looks like its been ages that i have cooked something. So finally i am gearing up and getting more recipes to my blog.

I made KolhaPuri Egg Curry on one of the get together. Very different from what I have been making till date.So here is the recipe.

Dish:Egg Curry(Egg Russa)

Process:

Ingredients:

Ingredients:
6 eggs, hard-boiled
2 large onion, roughly chopped
2 large tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 cup fresh/frozen grated coconut
1 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp minced garlic
8 whole cloves
8 whole peppercorns
6 dry red chillies
1 tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds (saunf)
4 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp turmeric
salt to taste
2 tbsp minced cilantro for garnish


In a pan, heat the oil, add cloves, peppercorns, chillies, poppy seeds and fennel seeds and saute till the spices are aromatic and sizzling. Add the onion, ginger, garlic and fry well till browned.Add the coconut and fry till well-toasted.Add the tomatoes and continue frying for 3-4 minutes. Grind this mixture into a fine paste, using some water as necessary while grinding. Transfer the paste back to a saucepan, add salt and turmeric and enough water to make your desired consistency; bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.Peel the boiled eggs, halve them and add them to the curry. Simmer for another minute.Garnish with cilantro.

To make a traditional Kolhapuri meal, serve this egg rassa with jeera rice .
