coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

Homemade blends can be tailored for freshness and flavor.

1

Fry the boiled eggs in oil until crispy to retain texture.

2

Add chopped onions and curry leaves to the same pan; add salt to help moisture escape from the onions.

Mix in garlic and ginger puree, and half of the chopped coriander.

4

Add chopped tomatoes and let them cook down.

5

Stir in curry powder and add water as needed to prevent drying out.

6

Cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Check the eggs after 10 minutes; the sauce should be thick and rich.
