    Scrambled Egg Curry

    The season of lent has started. One of the most asked questions, by the hard core carnivores, during this period is “what to make with these vegetables” ?? No, I havent given up any non veg. Its usually said that you should sacrifice the most loved items/things/habit. Be it food, watching movies etc; I dont mind eating vegetables for 50 days, am ok with it.

    I get the maximum number of requests for veg curries during this time. This is a good curry that you can make during lent season. Hey, you can make it otherwise also, lent or no lent :). I really liked this mainly because of the simplicity of ingredients and its super easy to make. This is going to be a regular at our place. You can finish making this in 10 mins or so. If you’ve any unexpected guests, this comes very handy.

    Hope you will like it too..

    Here is the recipe:

    1. Eggs – 2
    2. Onion – finely chopped – 1/2 cup
      Tomato – chopped 1
      Green chilly – 2-3
      Curry leaves
    3. Chilly powder – 1/2-1 tsp
      Garam masala – 1/2 tsp
      Pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
      Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
    4. Thick coconut milk – 1 1/4 cup
    5. Salt
      Oil

    Heat oil in a pan and add number 2 ingredients. When onion becomes golden brown color, add the spice powders & salt and fry till the oil starts appearing. Add beaten eggs to this. scramble the eggs well along with the masala. When the eggs are cooked, add the coconut milk. Mix well. Cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from fire. Serve hot with chappathi/roti, puttu, idiyappam, appam etc;

    Notes: If you want more egg pieces in the curry, you can add extra eggs. Also, if you are worried about the cholestrol part, add only the egg whites :). I used coconut oil for this recipe. You can adjust the spices as per your taste.

    • shibu jacob

      Hey Maria,

      I thanked u for the recipe but today I made it and it came out great.Im home after a foot surgery and when my wife came home she made some paal appams and we had it with the curry.It was yummm. Exactly like the recipe my friends mom used to make,except in her recipe I remember tasting coriander powder.Now when I made it,I fried a bit of coconut shreds also.Adds to taste.After 4yrs or so we are going back to delhi and kerala,next week.Heard a lot of illnesses were doing the rounds.Ayoh.Do pray for us and why didnt u post ur pics if they came out so good? Let me also see.Ha ha. Like I said anyone who can make good food must look good also.Take it as a complement.
      cheers

      • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

        Hi Shibu

        Thanks Sibil dear :)

    • Evette

      Hi Maria,

      Thanks for sending me your recipes specially the kerala recipes. I love the kadipata and coconut flavour, but unfortunately me and my husband have cholesterol problem so what is the substitute for coconut. Waiting for your reply.
      Regards
      Evette

      • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

        Hi Evette

        You are welcome dear :) Now that’s a tough question, because Kerala cuisine wont be the same without coconut. However in recipes that calls for coconut milk like veg stew n all, you can use cow’s milk. I havent tried it myself, but my friend has tried it and said its good.

        You can try reducing the qty of coconut in the recipe.

        Cheers

    • Preethi

      Maria,

      I regularly go thru your website ( it is in my fav list ) and have actually made quite some dishes from here. It was wrong on my side to not have thanked you enough. So, here I am writing to you, that all that I’ve tried from your blog were AWESOME. Y’dy the egg chutney kebab was a super hit at a potluck with the host asking for more. Trying this egg recipe tommorrow for another party. I am sure this wil be a mega hit as well ! Thanks to you ! :)

      • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

        Hi Preethi,

        Thanks a ton Preethi for such a lovely comment :) It’s really nice to know that you try recipes from here and like it too. Thank you so much for leaving a comment here, it means a lot to me.

        Hope the egg curry came out well…

        Cheers
        Maria

        • Preethi

          @Maria,

          You will not believe what happ ! I had made the recipe with 8 eggs for 2 exclusive
          egg-terians and 5 non-vegg’trns. I had enough of non-veg food too. The egg curry was finger licked completely and I had to make it again ( public demand ! ) WOW ! :) I dnt have to say more I guess. :) Kudos to you. It was soo simple to make, that, I didnt think twice and made it in a jiffy for my friends. :) Thanks again

          • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

            Dear Preethi,

            Thanks a ton for such a lovely comment. I’m really sorry for the delayed reply, was tied up with some work :( . I’m so glad that your friends enjoyed it and what I love most about this curry is its so simple & quick :)

            Cheers

      Dear Maria

      I used to hate cooking. But now I am trying out all ur recipes one by one. Today I made this scrambled egg curry and it was very very delicious. My husband who hates eating eggs (due to cholestrol part) loved it. He wants me to cook it again tomorrow. All credit to you Maria, I love cooking now. It all seems so easy. I am thankful to you for all ur prompt reply.

      luv u

      suma

        Dear Suma,

        Thanks a ton dear, you made my day :) I’m so glad to know that this site helps you with cooking.

        Btw, its not all my credit. The taste also depends on the cook, so you can also take credit for your wonderful cooking :)

        Cheers

    • http://www.jojojoson.com Jojo Joson

      Tried this one yesterday, but i felt like it would have been more good, if added more chilly powder and green chilly. Tomato,beaten eggs, and coconut milk all adds to sweetness of the curry. Nice dish btw .. :)

      • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

        Hi Jojo,

        Thanks again for trying the recipe from this place. This is not a very spicy curry, however you can increase the hotness/spiciness to suit your taste :) It’s almost in the category of stew, which is not very spicy, that goes well with appam.

        Cheers
        Maria

    • indhu

      Hi Maria, am your new member, i just hav a doubt that can i add pure milk instead of coconut milk.Thick coconut milk not available here maria,……

      • http://mariasmenu.com Maria Jose

        Hi Indhu,

        Thanks for joining dear :) I havent yet tried this curry with pure milk, so I’m not sure about it. Is coconut milk powder available in your place? Then you can use that. Add 3 tbsp of coconut milk powder to 1 cup of lukewarm water to make a thick cup of coconut milk.

        Cheers
        Maria
