Does anyone have any experiences of putting egg into a curry? Don't want it to be the major component. Will use chicken too. I see two options:

1) Hard boil the egg and then chop it up and add it in

or, potentially much easier, but will this work?

2) Crack the egg open directly into the nearly finished curry and let it cook in the curry.

Will option 2 work? Or will I just end up with a gooey mess?

I have seen boiled eggs in a curry before didnt like it too much


much prefer craking the egg into the curry because it makes the curry alot richer 

Or how about just don't put egg in at all?

Yeah, don't really like the idea of using a boiled egg. My plan was to crack the egg in and then mix everything up a lot until the egg had cooked. This will work you reckon?

And celtic: shush! I want to try something a bit different :)

try it, don't think it will make a huge different probs thicker and richer thats all

put lots of corriander on it also

Deffo option B.  Won't be a gooey mess if you cook it properly.

whisk egg first?

i know nothing about cooking but seems logical to ensure consistancy?

Unfortunately I cannot reply to posts made in blue   :redcard:

Speak to local Indian restaurant and ask what they do when they make chicken chat.

Why!?!? Why would you do this!?

I can't imagine an egg adding anything to a curry tbh, especially if it's just cooked in to the sauce.  save the egg and boil it up to have with soldiers for brekkie imo.

Biryani style omelette on the top

You go to all the trouble of phoning in a curry then you want to put an egg in it?

Strange guy you are Charles.

Boiled eggs in a curry are great. You can make them as the main component to. Cut in half they take the flavour on brilliantly. Generally you want them in something with more zingy flavours like a south indian prawn and egg curry, friggin delicious.

Generally you put eggs in an egg curry? hmm

never had an egg curry before, [ ]sounds lovely...

my better half (indian woman and a highly skilled curry maker) has experimented with eggs in loads of different kinds of curries and we found they work really great in a south indian prawn curry.

can't see anything wrong with the idea of a curried boiled egg

i'll post a recipe later, if you make it and don't like it you're an idiot.

I will make this later today.

Does anyone wish to take part in a curry cook off this evening? :)

I would love not to

Hard boil the egg and just drop it on top.

Don't chop it up first. Chop it up while you're eating.

Me and Hopkin had one in the curry place we go to. One of the chef's specials. Don't know how or why but it worked.

Or an awful cook...

I think you will find I'm an excellent cook


This is the best place for eggs imo

Agree Soviet, the dirty bastards.

Post it up.  Boiled egg is great in a curry.

I love onions but dear god they hurt my eyes when cutting them :(

Have a candle lit near where you're cutting them and the onion fumes will head for the flame of the candle instead of yer face.

I heard about someone who ate so much curry, he slipped into a korma.   ;marks;

How do I make that red card symbol people always use?

Top tip! I shall try this next time.

 :redcard:  (above the text box you'll see all the card symbols.  click on 'more' and you'll find all the rest.)

cut the pointy ends off first and take it about a cm from where that joins the main bulbus bit of the onion. The bit that makes you cry is in these bits.

I always do this too as it's the easiest method but not necessarily the most effective.  if you're not completely blind without your specs then wearing a pair of swimming goggles as you chop ftw.  other people i know swear by putting a lump of bread under their top lip - no idea if that one works!

Do em under water - Simples.

PS- Not you, just the onion.

Well, it's simmering away. Now just to simmer it for 45 mins and let the sauce reduce before I go for the gamble phase of putting the egg in...

If it turns out nice i'll post the recipe later on if anyone is interested :)

Sure looks like any ciurry I've eaten!

Boiled egg is just wrong!

Lol

That looks soooo bad.

/fumes near your face

/onion problem

oi!

It looks lovely - besides, that pic isn't of it cooked. Looking better now. No idea how it'll look once i've put the egg in tho lol

Add hard boiled eggs quartered at end of cooking in place of some veg or meat.

Or you can crack your eggs in the cooking vessel at simmering point then turn off the heat and allow the the residual heat to gently poach.Make sure you dont stir for 5 mins whilst the eggs coagulate (set)

If you add the raw eggs and stir you'll end up with scrambled eggs in your curry.

Fingers crossed...

 ;popcorn; ;popcorn; ;popcorn;

Well, it's done.

Prob doesn't look the best (hey, it's a curry after all) but it tasted really nice :)

Oil in pan
Black mustard seeds - tea spoon
Paprika - tea spoon
Haldi (tumeirc) - tea spoon
onoin - one - large
garlic - 2 pieces of garlic crushed
Chillis - Depends how hot you like it and what chillis - 2/3 birds eye is what i go for
ginger - tea spoon full grated
tomatoes - 4 large

fry until onions are golden

Remove from pan and blend the lot

(if doing chicken add to pan now and seal)

back in the pan
Add bay leaf
a generous knob of creamed cocunt (40g ish)
tea spoon of tamarind paste
1/2 tea spoon of suger
decent pinch of salt (to flavour)
Add some water (not much - 1/4 pint) add more if it looks to dry as you go along

Cook this for 2 mins
Chop your boiled eggs in half now and place them in sunny side up to keep them together, take care stirring from now.
Cook for 5 mins
Add prawns - (raw are best) and cook for another 5 mins until prawns are cooked

To finish, 1 min before serving -
Add a good bunch coriander and stir in
Gara masala - tea spoon sprinkled over the entire curry, don't stir this in (its meant to have the uncooked taste and really finishes it brilliantly)

serve with rice and chilli pickle (pataks) and yoghurt, enjoy.

looks quality

Charles that looks positively disgusting.

As long as it tasted good though that's all that matters.

This sounds like the way I chop onions and I have no problems with my eyes.

Here you go: (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=hungryhouse&l=1)

thats because it works, thanks miss potts and home economics for that one.

Yep I AGREE

For anyone who wants to give the one I made a go the recipe is as follows. Serves 3 people with generous portions but can easily cover 4 people:

1 large onion
1 large red pepper
2 hot green chilis (for me this makes it medium - for most it's prob hot - add or take away as you please)
3 cloves of garlic

One Lemon
600g chicken breast

One hicken stock cube
Tomato Puree

Coriander
Cumin
Garam Masala
Cardamom
(all whole seeds)

Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

1) Fry the spices (use however much you want. the more the stronger it'll be. i use 2 desert spoons of each) for 2 minutes at a high heat
2) Crush the spices down to a powder
3) Add a generous helping of olive oil to the pan and add the spices and onion/pepper/garlic/chili. Fry for 5 minutes.
4) Add the chicken and the lemon juice. Fry for another 5 minutes.
5) Add water, chicken stock, salt/pepper, and tomato puree. Add enough water to cover most of the chicken.
6) Simmer for however long you want, until you get the sauce at a consistency you like.
7) Done :)

If you want to add egg then do so at the end. Crack 2 eggs and stir them in then leave to cook for 5 minutes.

Take away curry sucks compared to home made!

i'd eat it!
