Egg Keema
Egg keema is a classic Indian street food made with boiled eggs that are chopped up, pan fried with some spices and herbs, and turned into a rich curry!
Ingredients
- 3 eggs hard boiled
- 1 cup tomato chopped
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon cumin powder
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon coriander chopped
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- Grate the hard boiled eggs using a grater.
- In a pan, heat oil and add onions. Cook until slightly pink and the raw smell goes away. Add in the spices and mix well.
- Now add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add salt.
- Next, add in grated eggs, mix and turn down the heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat, top with chopped coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
Since you’re using grated eggs here, you’ll need to make sure you don’t end up overmixing the curry, as it can ruin the texture of the dish.
If you want to cut down the prep and cooking time for the recipe, you can prepare the curry base up to 5 days in advance and freeze it until you’re ready to put it to use.
To make the curry a bit more filling and nutritious, you can also add some green peas and chopped potatoes into it.
