It uses basic ingredients which are most often found in any kitchen, and the result is the tastiest Egg Masala you will ever make!! So let’s get straight to it!

What are the ingredients for Easy Egg Masala?? 

Ingredients for Egg Masala

 

Boiled eggs – 6 boiled eggs cut in half

Onions  – sliced 

Tomatoes – sliced

Ginger garlic paste 

Spice powders – turmeric, chili, coriander, pepper, garam masala, and cumin powders

Curry leaves 

Mustard and cumin seeds 

Salt to taste 

Boiled potatoes (optional)

Boiling the eggs:

This is the way I make my boiled eggs. Put the eggs into a pan and cover them with water.

 Tip – Add a pinch of baking soda to the water, the eggshells can be peeled off much easier!

Switch on the stove on a medium-high flame. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes is done, switch off the flame and cover the pan. After a few minutes, drain out the water and fill the pan with cold water. Peel the eggshells and keep the boiled eggs aside.

Or use an Automatic Egg Cooker:

Of course, there is nothing like having an egg cooker! There is no denying the convenience of this gadget! if you are a family that eats a lot of boiled eggs, it might be worth it to get this  Dash Egg Cooker which cooks 6 eggs at a time, or this Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker which cooks 12 eggs at once, it is a great option if your family is bigger.

NOTES:

  • If you do not have curry leaves, you can leave them out.
  • Slice onions and tomatoes the same size so the masala is of good consistency.
  • When frying the masala, you can add a little water from time to time so it doesn’t burn.
  • If you like it spicy you can add green chilies or more chili powder.
  • I usually add boiled potatoes at the end, but you could add potatoes when you add the tomatoes, it should cook in the masala.
