Egg Kurma is a traditional south Indian curry that has a creamy consistency from the use of yogurt, coconut, cashews, poppy seeds and spices. If you are bored with regular egg curries, then this South Indian egg curry will be refreshing. It goes well with chapathi, dosa, appam, parotta, idiyappam, biryani or with just plain rice.
For Egg kurma, just temper with whole spices and curry leaves, add the chopped onions, ginger garlic paste, tomato and with your favorite spices and saute well, then add hard boiled eggs and cook for 5-6 minutes till the oil separates. Finally, add coconut cashew paste and cook for 1 minute. Fantastic egg korma is ready to serve. Adjust spice level according to your taste.
The perfect way to get the hard boiled eggs, always drop the egg in boiling water and boil for 10 minutes then drop the egg in cold water and then peel the skin for the perfect boiled eggs. Adding pinch of salt to the boiling water will help to prevent the eggs from cracking.
