Beef fry, Coorgi pork, Chicken ghee roast... the list goes on and on. South Indian food has always been a delicacy! Inspired by all these yummy dishes we tried to make Egg Moilee and boy was it yuuummyy!!
So, here is a gist of how we got about making it.
Ingredients:
Hard boiled eggs
Spices(cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf and pepper corns)
Turmeric powder
Chopped onions
Diced tomatoes
Ginger and garlic paste
Thick coconut milk
Sliced green chilies
Coriander leaves
Ghee
Salt to taste
Method:
1) Cut the eggs into halves. In a skillet, pan sear the eggs in ghee till it gets a golden colour.
2)Remove the eggs and set it aside.
3) In the remaining ghee, saute the spices over low heat for 2 minutes. Add onions and green chillies and continue to saute over medium heat.
4) Once the onions are cooked, add salt, tomatoes and turmeric powder.
5) When the mixture turns golden brown add coconut milk and let it cook for 30 seconds,
Serving:
Place the eggs in a bowl and pour the curry over the eggs.
Use coriander leaves to garnish.
Best served with sannas or neer dosa.
Bon appetit!!
Notes:
Using a mortar and pestle to bruise the spices would be a great option.
Make sure that the flame is on low while adding the coconut milk and ensure to turn the flame off within a minutes time after adding the coconut milk or else the heat might cause the coconut milk to separate.
