Egg and potato curry

It's been a while I posted an egg curry recipe. This is one of our favourite curries that goes well along with appam, chappathi, pathiri, malabar paratha, rice etc.

Ingredients:

Potatoes - 1 large

Eggs - 3 or 4, hard boiled and shelled

Onion - 1, sliced thin

Ginger chopped - 1 tsp

Garlic chopped - 1 tsp

Green chillies - 2, slit

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Chilly powder - 1/2 tsp

Crushed pepper - 1/2 tsp or to taste

Oil - 2 tbsp

Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp

Coriander leaves chopped - 2 tbsp

Thick Coconut milk - optional

Salt to taste

Preparation:

1. Peel and cube the potato and keep aside in a bowl of water.

2. Heat oil in a pan and add fennel seeds. Add onions,ginger,garlic and green chillies and saute till onions are transparent. 

3. Add turmeric, coriander and chilly powders. Add chopped tomatoes and saute till mushy. 

4. Add potatoes, salt and 1/2 cup of water and cover and cook till potatoes are done. I lighlty mash a few potato cubes  to make the curry thicker.

5. Add the garam masala and crushed pepper. Add the hard boiled eggs and simmer for few minutes. You may add thick coconut milk at this point. Garnish with coriander leaves.
