🧂 Ingredients List:
Ingredient Quantity
5-6 eggs (boiled)
3 medium onions (chopped)
1 whole garlic clove (chopped separately)
1 tablespoon ginger (paste)
1 medium tomato (optional)
2 tablespoons sour yogurt
2 tablespoons onion paste
3 green chilies, sliced
5-6 tablespoons oil
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
1 piece cinnamon
2 cardamoms
2 cloves
1/2 cup milk (optional) (to thicken)
Water as required
🔥 Preparation method:
- Boil and fry the eggs:
First, wash the eggs well and boil them. If you boil them for 7-10 minutes on medium heat, the eggs will be well cooked. Then cool and peel them.After the eggs are boiled, lightly coat them with turmeric and salt and fry them lightly in a little oil. This will reduce the chances of the eggs getting mixed into the korma and make the flavor much more intense.
- Onion and garlic preparation:
Keep the chopped onion and garlic cloves separately on a plate. If you want, you can mix the garlic and ginger paste together. Adding garlic while frying the onion gives a great aroma.
- Preparing and frying the spices:
Heat the oil in a pan and add cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Now add the chopped onion and fry it until it turns light brown. Then add the garlic paste, ginger paste, and tomatoes. When they are slightly fried, add the remaining dry spices (turmeric, chili, coriander, cumin).
Sprinkle little water while frying the spices so that the spices do not burn. It will take 5-7 minutes to fry the spices.
- Preparing the sour cream and korma base:
When the spices are fried, add 2 spoons of sour cream. Adding yogurt makes the korma broth thick and tasty. After adding the curd, keep stirring quickly so that the curd does not burst.
If you want, you can also add a little milk at this time. This will make the soup creamier.
- Add fried eggs:
Add the fried eggs to the masala in the pan. Mix well with the masala. Now add 1/2 cup hot water. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Finally, add the garam masala and serve:
When the broth thickens, sprinkle garam masala powder and green chilies on top. Cover and leave for a while so that the masala mixes well.
