This recipe gets its name from the two different ways in which onion is used. I have eaten this recipe with various types of proteins as well as vegetables but decided to give it a shot while thinking how to cook egg for my little one.
The toddler in my family loves to eat egg, especially if it is with any curry. It is hard to understand why but I guess it is because she feel proud to share and eat the same food as mom and dad. Now, don’t think she eats any of the curry in reality. All I do is pick out the egg halves on her plate but the spices from the curry adhering to the egg is enough to tickle her taste buds.
Ingredients:
Eggs – 5
Onions – 1 medium (one third sliced into rings, the remaining chopped in large chunks)
Ginger – 1 “ cubes
Garlic- 2 cloves (halved)
Green chillies – 4
Turmeric – 1 tsp
Paprika – 1 tsp
Olive oil – 3tbsp + to fry onion rings
Garam masala – 1tsp
Coconut milk – 2tbsp
Tomato puree - 2tbsp
Salt & sugar to taste
The eggs were boiled for about 10 minutes. The onion rings were then fried in olive oil and set aside. The chopped onions, ginger and garlic were sautéed in olive oil for about 10 minutes. Then turmeric, paprika and tomato puree were added along with salt & sugar and the mixture was sautéed for another 5-7 minutes. The mixture was then cooled and pureed.
Meanwhile, I also shelled the boiled eggs and slightly sautéed them in olive oil after rubbing salt and turmeric.
The puree/curry was returned to the frying pan, garam masala added & coconut milk was added just before turning off the heat. Cut the eggs into halves and place them gently over the do piaza curry. I served this with oven-heated naan. What a gratifying moment for a mom it was when the little one asks for more and nods her head in approval!
