Egg Molee/Moilee

I didn’t want to make the usual spicy egg curry for today’s dinner along with aappam. So was thinking of a milder curry as an accompaniment. You might have heard of fish moilee, right? Here is a similar one with eggs. Very easy to make and quite mild too. Goes very well with aappam, idiyappam, idli, dosa etc. Please do try it.

Ingredients:

• Boiled eggs 3-4
• Onion 1 big
• Tomato 1 medium
• Green chillies 2-3

• Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
• Pepper crushed to taste
• Garam Masala 1/2 tsp
• Coconut milk 1/2 cup
• Curry leaves 2 sprigs
• Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
• Refined oil 1 tbsp

Method:

• Boil the eggs till is cooked well. Remove the shell and make small incisions on the eggs.

• Heat oil in a kadhai and add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the curry leaves.
• Saute the onion till translucent. Add the ginger and garlic and green chillies. Now add the tomato, turmeric powder and saute well.
• Add the thin extract of coconut milk and boil the curry for 5 minutes. Add salt and mix.
