eggkurma-2

Vegetable egg omelette cooked in a curry made with flavorful roasted whole spices and coconut. I used Burnbrae Egg Creations Garden Vegetable egg whites to make the omelette which simplifies cooking and makes it even easier!

I have to tell you something! I used the egg white carton from Burnbrae. If you haven’t tried it, you should know that Burnbrae’s Naturegg Simply Egg White products are real, pasteurized egg whites.

Burnbrae cracks and separates the eggs for you – creating a simple and convenient product to help get back on track from the holidays. They separate the egg whites and add vegetables or herbs (depends on the product you buy) to it with the right amount of salt and everything. Basically, you just have to add it to the pan straight and cook like any other omelette. Burnbrae is the brand I use here for eggs in Canada. I always buy their eggs 🙂 so this is not at all new to me! Very convenient and saves a lot of time. Surely a big help for mornings! Although whole eggs are healthy, Naturegg Simply Egg Whites are a lighter meal option after the holidays (fewer calories and fat). You can look for other recipes to use from their egg whites – Burnbrae recipes. They sent a beautiful package 🙂  🙂

I used Burnbrae’s Garden Vegetable Simply Egg Whites, which was perfect for this recipe. Saved some good time for me. You can very well use the eggs for this recipe and make your omelette to add to the curry.

I like making kurma as it is easy and quick to prepare. We can have it with rice or with Indian bread like naan, paratha or parotta. I have couple of kurma recipes on my blog ready: Lamb/mutton kurma, chicken spicy kurma, Potato Kurma, Paneer baby corn chettinadu kurma

You can have this egg kurma with hot rice, Jeera rice or with Indian bread like naan, paratha or parotta.

Quick & Simple Egg curry in 20 Minutes

by 34 Comments

 QuickEggcurry-3
Eggs are simmered in spicy & delicious Indian gravy ! 🙂


I always tend to have eggs at home. So, if you are having some guest coming home, and you wanted to make a quick tasty side dish, this is the one you need to make. And quickly serve with some hot basmati rice.
I made this egg  masala long back when some of my friends came for lunch with my favorite Hyderabad Lamb Biryani. It was drafted for a long time in my list to post, thought this is the right time to post it because I did not pretty much cook anything for past one week. The masalas in this egg roast are finger licking good. Eggs are the best friend for bachelor cooking I guess, easy to make it for a side dish. So, if you wanted to make it special with a comfort lunch without much of work and grocery shopping ;) Then go for this!

Egg Masala Toast

by 9 Comments

EggMasalaToast_Relishthebite10 Minute Egg Masala Toast – – THE BEST quick and easy recipe for egg lovers! All you need is Milk, bread and eggs.

This masala toast is a great recipe for evening snack or perfect for morning breakfast. I would say it is almost similar to the French toast but this is a savory version of it. The bread is dippen in a masala egg mixture and toasted on a griddle pan.

You can use any kind of vegetable with eggs, I used the classic combination of onions, tomato and capsicum. You can always skip even the onions, tomatoes mint and bell pepper. You can even add parsley to this or even grated carrots. In my mind this is quick recipe when you have guests at home, and you just want to make something quick but palatable. This is the best to make as evening snakc or breakfast recipe. It is totally customizeable. This egg will just nicely coat on bread. You will most probably have milk,bread and egg at home always. So, this is perfect savior always. This is also kid friendly. Is that not perfect ?!

masalabreadtoast-8 masalabreadtoast-9

 I made this for my friends before a month on a morning on a long weekend when they came from Ottawa. I wanted to make something quick for all of them. So, I just made this and they all loved it. Me happy 🙂 as always. I did not slice off my sides from bread because I like my bread sides. The bread I used was sesame bread. I once had it at my work place so got that week then never went there to that store to buy it. I am lazy to go all the way to that shop just to buy sesame bread. But will most probably go this week or next week to buy for my boyfriend as he loves this sesame bagel, he should probably like sesame bread too.

 I have some quick morning breakfast recipes using bread that you can try – Vegetable Bread Toast Sandwich, Creamy Mushrooms and Greens on Toast, Sweetened condensed milk toast with Orange zest, Simple Poached egg and avocado Toast. And also other breakfast recipes.

Vegetarians can replace the egg by some maida (all-purpose flour) instead of eggs.

Hyderabadi Egg Biryani

by 36 Comments

EGgBiryani-5_nameGot some rice and eggs? Turn them into famous scrumptious one pot meal – Egg Biryani.

One of the famous Indian one pot meal biryani using hard boiled eggs. It has amazing flavors. Biryani has become one of my all time Sunday recipes. I guess I have posted 4 biryani recipes – Lamb Biryani, Shrimp Biryani, Paneer Biryani and Vegetable Biryani. Now this is the fifth one! We can make the Biryani and just have it with no Eggs also. It still tastes great.

EGgBiryani-3

I used to frown to prepare biryani before 4 years. I thought it was a big thing, and it is best had only in restaurants. But now 🙂 it has become a part of my Sunday lunch. It took about an hour to prepare. But on weekends, it is fine and also we don’t need to prepare side dish for this. It is great to have with any raita 😉 and especially with garlic raita. I blended the masala and all ingredients and then cooked the rice and masala together and topped the fried masala egg on it.

Mumbai Style Egg Bhurji

by 10 Comments

EggBhurji_nameIndian scrambled eggs, spicy and loaded with veggies. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or pairs well with rotis or a sandwich filling.

I would say it is one of the Mumbai’s famous and fast selling foods when it comes to street corners and food stalls. It is also called as Anda bhurji, scrambled eggs, Bhurji pav. This will stand out of all the dishes on your dining table. I used colorful peppers to make it look more beautiful.

EggBhurji-3

It has onions, ginger, tomato, green chillis and green red peppers. You can even use peas in these. I have used pav bhaji masala in this recipe. Pav bhaji is a popular Indian chat food in India and this masala is used in this recipe. You can get this masala at any Indian grocery stores. You can replace 2 tsp of pav bhaji masala with 1:1 Red chilli powder and garam masala powder.

It is so easy to make these. And as I always say, eggs are saviors if you don’t have anything or lazy to make a time consuming dinner. They serve best when had in the breakfast. Very healthy! You can also have them with rice and some curry. Or just have it as a snack in the evening with some tea. You can also place them in pita or taco or have it in a sandwich filling.

Egg Pepper Roast / Muttai Milagu Varuval

by 13 Comments


eggpepperfry-2Easy, spicy egg pepper masala made with simple ingredients.

If you have eggs at home, this is one of the flavorful luscious recipes that you can make for a quick lunch. If you are having some guest coming home, and you wanted to make a quick tasty side dish, this is the one you need to make. :)!  I will always have eggs at home, because I don’t eat eggs much, it always stays there, sometimes I like to have them as omlettes or scrambled eggs 😀 But I even stopped that now . Then why do you get them 😀 is the question I get when I buy them! Ok, I buy them always for my face pack and hair pack :D! I made this egg pepper masala long back when some of my friends came for lunch. It was drafted for a long time in my list to post, thought this is the right time to post it because I did not pretty much cook anything for past one week.

eggpepperfry-3

 I cooked this in a similar manner to the way I prepared pepper chicken fry. The masalas in this egg roast is finger licking good. When my friend used to make pepper chicken fry before years, I used to just taste the masala and would go WOW! 😀 So, I am sure this is very tasty. If you like egg and spicy food then you will love this recipe. I think eggs have no taste as such and you just have to add the flavors to make it tasty. So this is a perfect egg recipe. Eggs are the best friend for bachelor cooking I guess, easy to make it for a side dish. So, if you wanted to make it special with a comfort lunch without much of work and grocery shopping 😉 Then go for this! The main flavor for this recipe is the flavors of pepper corns, coriander seeds and fennel seeds. If you want to reduce spiciness, reduce the pepper quantity or skip the chilli powder. If you make a simple tomato rasam, sambhar, biryani, pulao for this egg fry 🙂 , that’s a complete lunch. Even it tastes great with phulka. You can make the blended masala and store in an air right container, it’s equally good.

Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • Eggs – 4

  • Jeera/ cumin seeds – 1 tsp
  • Red chilli – 1, broken
  • Onion – ¾ cup, very finely chopped
  • Garlic – 4, very finely chopped

  • Green chilli – 1, small, finely chopped
  • Tomato – ¼ cup, finely chopped
  • Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
  • Garam Masala – ½ tsp
  • Red chilli powder – ½ tsp
  • Coconut powder/ Grated coconut – 2 tsp
  • Salt – 1 tbsp

    Roast & Grind
  • Coriander seeds – ½ tbsp
  • Whole black pepper – ½ tbsp.
  • Fennel seeds – 1 tsp
Instructions
  1. Hard boil the eggs by boiling the eggs – Boil water, add a tsp. of salt, add eggs and cook for 10 mins in medium flame. Once done, add them to cold water and set aside for 5 mins, make a small crack using knife or just cracking in nearby object and remove the egg shell carefully. Cut the eggs vertically set aside.
  2. Meanwhile when the eggs are getting cooked, heat a pan, and fry roast the ingredients under to “roast & grind” until light brown. You will get nice aroma, switch off, allow it to cool and blend into a smooth powder but little coarse. I used my mortar & pestle. So it was perfect.
  3. Heat oil in a pan; add hing, broken red chilli and jeera and sauté for few seconds. Add chopped onion, curry leaves, chopped ginger, and chopped green chilli, chopped garlic and sauté till onion becomes translucent and golden brown. Add chopped tomatoes and turmeric powder, sauté till its little mushy.
  4. Add powdered pepper spice powder, garam masala, red chilli powder, coconut powder and fry in medium to slow heat for a minute. Add 3 tbsp of water, salt, add the sliced eggs, cover and cook for 2 mins in medium flame.
  5. Gently turn the eggs and add another 2 tbsp of water, cover and cook for another 2 mins and switch off when the masala becomes roasted, garnish with coriander leaves and 1 tsp of lime juice.
Notes
1. This pepper fry is little on the spicy side, so adjust according to your taste. You can add the blended masalas slowly and taste them. Skip the chilli powder if you want. You have green chilli, pepper, red chilli powder, and one broken red chilli. So skip any one if you think it’s spicy for your taste buds.
2. You can replace with ginger garlic instead of chopped ginger garlic if you think it’s a big step to do.
3. Do roast the pepper masala well to remove the rawness smell.
4. Do not overcook eggs as it might become rubbery or hard.
