Egg Kurma/

Chettinadu Egg Curry


                I have been making the egg curry in  somewhat similar way for what seems like forever, and last week i decided itz high time to try something new with boiled eggs. I have the book '50 great curries of india' by Camellia Panjabi and decided to give her recipe Egg Kurma(Chettinad) a try.This recipe is definitely something i'm gonna treasure,coz my husband appreciated me a lot.

  

Ingredients:

Eggs (hard boiled) - 6nos

Coriander Powder - 3tsp

Chili Powder or Paprika - 1 1/2tsp

Fennel Seeds - 1tsp

Cumin Seeds - 1tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/2tsp
Fresh Ginger -1/2inch piece

Garlic Cloves - 2nos

Coconut Milk - 200ml or 1 cup
Oil - 2tbsp
Fenugreek Seeds - 1/2tsp
Fennel seeds -1/2tsp (set 2)
Cinnamon Sticks - 2 inch piece
Onions - 225gms or 2 nos. (finely chopped)
Tomatoes: 225gms or 2 nos.(finely chopped)
Salt as per taste
Lime Juice - of 1/2 a lime (i dint use this)

Preparation:

* Boil the eggs.Peel the eggs and halve them lengthways

*Put coriander powder, chili powder, fennel and cumin seeds, turmeric powder, ginger and garlic into a blender with 2 tbsp water and puree into a thick paste.

*Put the coconut into a blender with 400ml of warm water. Liquidise, then strain the coconut milk and set aside.

*Heat the oil in a kadai/wok and fry the fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds and the cinnamon for 10seconds. Add the onion and fry until lightly coloured. Add the spice paste and saute for 7 minutes. (It will darken in colour since it contains a lot of coriander.) Add a few drops of water if it sticks to the bottom of the kadai. Then add the tomatoes and saute for another 2-3minutes.

*Add 600ml (1/2pint) of warm water with salt to taste, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, to make a smooth gravy. just before serving, add the coconut milk and bring to boil. Add the lime juice(since we r using 2 tomatoes,i dint use lime juice), taste and add more salt if necessary, and gently lay in the hard boiled eggs with the yellow facing upwards. Carefully scoop into a serving dish.

If you want to freeze this curry, omit the coconut and eggs, but add lime juice and salt and freeze. Then use it to make egg curry as and when you need, topping it with coconut milk at the time of reheating.You can serve this with appam,idiyappam,pathiri...

Muttakuzhiyappam

Ingredients:
Basmati/Raw rice or pachari - 1 cup
Boiled rice -3/4 cup
Egg - 2
Salt to taste
Water as required

 Method:
             
            Wash and soak rice in water for 5-6 hours.Drain and grind this with all the other ingredients in a mixer grinder adding enough water to a smooth thin batter.Keep this batter for minimum 3 to 4 hours in a container.Now take a kuzhiyappam pan,this is a non stick pan, so you can easily make muttakuzhiyappam without the fear of sticking.

          

                 Heat the pan and pour oil in each rounds.When the pan and oil is hot enough simmer the flame and pour 1 tbsp of batter into each rounds.Slightly increase the flame and allow the appams to cook.After 2-3 minutes turn the appam upside down and cook that side.         

When both the sides become brown colour, remove the appam from the oil.Repeat the same process to make rest of the appams.

If u want varieities in this appam,u can add items of ur choice in the batter.Below is the appam made of prawns of my choice.

You can use it as breakfast without any curry.It tastes good with fish curry.My daughter is a great fan of muttakuzhiyappam..
