Jalapeno Tomato Onion Egg Masala

By Flagthis -

This delicately spicy dish, serves very well with all kinds of breads. The secret to getting  the gravy really thick and just right, is to use a lot of onions. I’ve also used jalapenos in this recipe instead of green chilies for a slight twist. But it really doesn’t matter though. You could use any kind of green chili and still be happy with the outcome.


egg masala


Ingredients


6 eggs, hard boiled and shelled
2 onions, finely sliced
4 tomatoes, finely chopped
2 – 3 jalapenos (base it on your tolerable spice levels)
1tbsp finely grated ginger
1 tbsp finely diced garlic
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp roasted cumin powder
1/2 tsp kerala garam masala
salt to taste


 


Directions



  • Slit the eggs length wise, just sufficient to cut through the white, still keeping it whole.

  • Heat oil in a pan, add cumin, onions and sauté until golden brown.

  • Add crushed ginger, garlic, jalapenos and sauté until oil separates.

  • Add tomatoes, turmeric, kerala garam masala and sauté until oil separates.

  • Add boiled eggs and mix into the masala.

  • Serve with any kind of bread.

      Ooo.. Awesome pic!! Btw, did you really mean to say that thick gravy is obtained from onions - or is it tomatoes?

      Yes, it is the nicely caramelized onions that gives the sause a nice fleshy feel and a smoky taste. If you use too many tomatoes instead you get a pulpy sause instead. I've used 2 large onions here to get that consistency.

      Awesome stuff. I liked it. We omitted the garlic and ginger stuff, and added along with the tomatoes some red pepper (Roter Paprika). After all , prepared in a cast iron pan, there were no leftover.....

    All About Dosas

    By Flagthis -

    Dosas are yummy crêpes made from fermented batter of rice and black gram. These can be made and eaten in a gazillion different forms. I plan on updating this post as and when I make the different kinds and combinations of them. That’s why the title “All About”. The basic batter for most of them can be made using the below proportions. It is eventually what else you add into this batter and how you make the crêpes that give the various forms and names to this wonderful delight. Ghee Roast – This golden brown super thin crisp crêpe roasted to perfection in ghee and served right off the flame with mouth watering coconut chutneys is probably the most simple dosa of all and my favorite. So, obviously it goes first in my list of recipes Ingredients 3 cups idli /parboiled rice (if you don’t have it go ahead and use raw rice) 1 cup urad dal(skinned black gram) 1 tsp fenugreek (methi) seeds 2 tbsp channa dal 1 tbsp mung dal 3 tbsp cooked rice(can be replaced with poha/beaten rice) salt to ...

    By Flagthis -
    Image
    This spice mix  is a blend of cardamoms, cinnamon and cloves in a 1:2:2 ratio (by weight). The combination of these three spices gives a rich flavor to any dish. Again, this is an intense spice mix and should be used sparingly Ingredients 50 gms cinnamon (patta/dalchini) 50 gms cloves (gramboo/long) 25 gms cardamom seeds (elaichi/elakka/elakki) Directions Dry roast the spices individually in a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron. Make sure the flame is set at medium heat. Keep stirring, be watchful and don't let spices burn on you. Grind the spices together into a fine powder. Store in an air tight container. Use sparingly since these are intense spices and can be over powering

    Vegetable Biryani- Chettinad Style

    By Flagthis -

    Known to be the spiciest and the most aromatic cuisine of India, the Chettinad cuisine is one of my favorites. I’ve spent many glorious evenings in Chennai wiping away plates of Biryani and sucking on spicy succulent crab meat while my totally vegetarian best friend V, looked on with great amusing interest. I’m sure her smirk would disappear in a tick had she only known the great void (tragedy) her vegetarian life had conferred on her. Anyway, coming back to serious cooking,  here’s a vegetarian version of the popular Chettinad biryani which is so flavorful that I’m sure even a die hard meat eater would easily go for a second helping . Ingredients 1 lb veggies of your choice. (I used, cauliflower and broccoli florets, diced bell peppers and carrots, peas and  potatoes cut into long strip like fries) 3 cups basmati rice 1 large  or 2 medium sized red onions finely sliced 3 large tomatoes, diced in chunks  2 tbsp chopped cilantro/coriander leaves 11/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste 1 tbsp cho...
