Ingredients

  • 4-6 eggs
  • 2 medium-sized onions, finely chopped
  • 3-4 medium-sized tomatoes, chopped
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated (optional)
  • 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon of curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika or chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Hard-Boil the Eggs:
    • Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.
    • Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes.
    • Once cooked, remove the eggs from the heat, drain the hot water, and place them in a bowl of cold water to cool.
    • Once cooled, peel the eggs and set them aside.
  • Prepare the Tomato-Onion Base:
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté them until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger (if using) to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
    • Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften and release their juices, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Season the Stew:
    • Once the tomatoes have softened, add the curry powder and paprika or chili powder to the skillet, stirring to combine.
    • Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
  • Add the Eggs:
    • Carefully place the peeled hard-boiled eggs into the skillet, nestling them into the tomato-onion base.
    • Spoon some of the tomato mixture over the eggs to coat them evenly.
  • Simmer the Stew:
    • Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.
    • Let the stew simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the eggs to absorb some of the sauce.
  • Serve and Garnish:
    • Once the stew is heated through and the eggs are infused with flavor, remove the skillet from the heat.
    • Transfer the egg stew to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.

    • Serve the egg stew hot with rice, bread, or your favorite side dish.

    Enjoy the comforting and satisfying flavors of this simple yet delicious homemade meal.
