Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s introduce you to our delightful ‘Fried Egg Curry’! This special curry is a treat for the senses, with perfectly pan-fried eggs that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It’s a dish designed to impress everyone at the table.
Step 2
First, prepare 8 fresh eggs. In a pot, add enough water to cover the eggs, along with a pinch of salt and a splash of vinegar. This trick helps prevent the eggs from cracking while boiling and makes peeling much easier. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Once boiled, transfer the eggs to cold water for a moment to cool, then carefully peel them. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the peeled eggs in the pan and fry them until they are beautifully golden brown on all sides. Achieving this lovely golden hue is key to the dish’s appeal.
Step 3
Next, take your 2 onions, peel them, and slice them thinly into strips. While the eggs are frying, lightly oil a pot and sauté the sliced onions over medium heat until they become translucent and slightly softened. Sautéing the onions well brings out their natural sweetness, which significantly deepens the curry’s flavor profile. Once the onions are translucent, add about 400-500ml of water. (You can adjust the amount of water later to reach your desired curry consistency.)
Step 4
Now, let’s infuse the curry with flavor! Add 1 packet of curry powder (approximately 100g) to the pot. Stir continuously over medium-low heat to dissolve the powder completely, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring regularly to prevent sticking, until the curry reaches your preferred thickness. For an extra layer of flavor and a gentle spicy note, stir in 1 tablespoon of chili powder. This not only adds a pleasant warmth but also enhances the overall umami of the curry.
Step 5
We’re on the final stretch! Wash a handful of fresh chives, pat them dry, and chop them finely. Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped chives generously over the hot curry. The fresh, aromatic chives add a lovely bright contrast to the rich curry sauce. Adding them at the end preserves their vibrant color and fresh flavor.
Step 6
Voilà! Your delicious ‘Fried Egg Curry,’ made with love for your family, is ready to be enjoyed. Serve it generously over a bed of rice for a truly satisfying meal.
