Egg Chilly


This is the simplest recipe that can be prepared using boiled eggs and my brother who had picked up the recipe from the roadside vendor near his college gave it to me (he loves eating there), tastes best with roti or chapathi.


Time taken: 20-25 minutes
Serves about 3 people


Ingredients required:
3 hard boiled egg
1 medium sized onion chopped
1 medium sized tomato chopped
1 tsp ginger & garlic paste
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp of red chilli powder
1 tsp cumin (jeera) seeds
2 Tsp oil
Handful of chopped coriander leaves
Salt to taste

Method of preparation:
Heat oil in a kadai. Add cumin seeds and wait till it splutters. Now add onions and the ginger & garlic paste and fry till the onions turn pinkish. Add tomatoes and fry. Once the tomatoes is mashed and cooked properly, add the turmeric and the chilli powder and fry till the raw smell of the chilli powder is gone. Now add salt and half a cup of water and bring it a boil. Once it starts boiling, peel the eggs and add the whole eggs into the kadai, and mash with the spoon so that the egg whites are broken into pieces and the yolk mashes and mixes with the gravy making it thick. Once the gravy is thick and starts boiling switch off the gas, garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with roti or chapathi.
