Alright, enough with the preamble. Go make this spiced egg curry already…
Caramelized onions are involved … and when cooked to perfection, it brings out their natural, intensely flavored, and wonderful sweetness making them one of the star ingredients (and they’re in season!).
So what can you expect from the tomato base? It’s flavored with the aforementioned spices with a touch of coconut milk to bring out its velvety consistency. I tossed in baby kale leaves for a pop of chlorophyll giving it a unique twist.
I cracked in five eggs (hence egg curry ) to bring it all together. Â The original recipe used boiled eggs, if poached eggs are your thing, go for it. As for my family, they prefer well-done. Whichever option you choose, it won’t take away from the DELICIOUS tasting assortment of GOODNESS going on here.
There’s nothing more comforting than a bubbling curry wafting with aromatics that will intoxicate your senses. And because it contains veggies and eggs to check the protein box, a side dish won’t be necessary.
BUT
MMMM, MMMM, it pairs perfectly with toasted Naan to capture ALL the flavor.
Know why? Because it’s an authentic CURRY.
