Poached egg curry
Whenever I make Amma’s Motte Randai and there is gravy leftover I make this dish. This dish is a real savior. Amma’s late elder sister,my aunt whom we kids called ‘Maav’ taught us to make this dish. She was such a wonderful cook. She was the one who taught us to eat chicken. I have shared some of her recipes here in the space. There is no name for this dish actually but I named it as poached egg curry.To make it convenient I will copy paste the Motte randai recipe also. You may make this dish with any leftover gravy too. There is one more method whenever there is leftover gravy which I will share in the coming days. But this method is unique and my favourite.
How to make poached egg curry:
- Boil the leftover gravy and lower the flame.
- Break eggs one at a time in the gravy.
- Drop eggs just as how much needed.
- Don’t crowd it with too many eggs.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs.
- Do not disturb it by using a ladle.
- Close the lid and cook it low flame until it gets cooked undisturbed.
- It will take about 8 minutes.
- Once cooked it will look like a cooked egg mass.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
