Egg curry with onion and tomatoes is a 15 minutes recipe. Great side dish for rice and Indian flat breads.
About the recipe
For the third and final day of side dishes, it is an easy egg curry with tomatoes and onion. I do not follow a specific recipe for egg curry and throw in whatever is in my spice cabinet depending on my mood.
The recipe below is the basic recipe I follow. Sometimes a pinch of garam masala, sometimes some sesame seeds powder also goes into the curry and sometimes I make a thick gravy by adding some poppy seeds.
Today it is a simple onion tomato saute. I meant to make more curry base and use 4 eggs but absentmindedly boiled only 3 eggs. I realized it only after heating oil and adding some onion to it.
Since it is only 3 eggs, I held back on some onions and ended up with a bit too much of oil. This curry is spicy hot and perfect for a cold evening dinner. For a no tomato version, check this onion egg curry.
Below is the B&W image of the egg curry. The original image is in color & edited it for my picture of the day. I did some post processing to give it a vintage & b&W effect in Picasa.
