Ingredients

    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Smooth Paste

    1. Grab your blender.

    2. Add these ingredients:

      • 1 medium onion (just chop it roughly, no need to be perfect)

      • 5-6 garlic cloves (no need to chop, just peel them)

      • 2-inch piece of ginger (peel it and grate or chop it)

      • 5-6 green chilies (break them into halves, or chop if you like them spicy)

      • ½ bunch of coriander leaves (just roughly chop it)

      • 1 large tomato (cut into small chunks)

    3. Blend everything until it’s a smooth paste.

    4. Set it aside for later.


    Step 2: Prepare and Fry the Eggs

    1. Boil 5-6 eggs and peel them carefully.

    2. Make small marks on each egg using a fork. This helps the eggs soak up the flavors.

    3. Heat ¼ cup of oil in a pan. You can use regular cooking oil or olive oil.

    4. Fry the eggs in the hot oil until they turn light golden brown. Don’t rush; let them get crispy on the outside.

    5. Once done, take them out and set them aside.


    Step 3: Cook the Onion-Tomato Paste

    1. In the same pan with the leftover oil, add the smooth paste you made earlier.

    2. Cook the paste on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

      • The paste should thicken and dry out a little.


    Step 4: Add the Spices

    1. Add these spices to the pan:

      • 1 tsp salt (adjust based on your taste)

      • 1 tsp chili powder (for some heat!)

      • ½ tsp turmeric powder (for color)

      • 1 tsp coriander powder (for flavor)

      • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional, for extra spice)

      • ½ tsp cumin seeds (for that earthy taste)

    2. Mix everything well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Stir to make sure the spices don’t burn.


    Step 5: Add the Cream for a Smooth Gravy

    1. Add ½ cup cream into the pan.

      • You can use fresh cream or even heavy cream.

    2. Stir well and cook for 2-3 more minutes until the gravy becomes smooth and creamy.


    Step 6: Add the Fried Eggs

    1. Add the fried eggs to the pan with the gravy.

      • You can cut the eggs in half for a beautiful presentation and for the gravy to seep inside.

    2. Gently stir to coat the eggs in the creamy gravy. Be careful not to break the eggs.


    Step 7: Garnish and Serve

    1. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves to add color and freshness.

    2. Serve your Reshmi Egg Masala with hot Lachha Parathas or steamed rice.


    Pro Tips for Beginners:

    • Boiling eggs: Boil them for about 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. If you prefer them softer, 8 minutes works great.

    • Adjust the spice level: Want it spicier? Add more green chilies or chili powder.

    • Gravy texture: If you want a thicker gravy, cook it for a little longer. For a thinner sauce, add a splash of water or milk.


    Enjoy your Silky, flavorful Reshmi Egg Masala! 😋
