October 2022 COTM: THALI by Maunika Gowardhan + the author's website

Ah. That explains a lot. The recipe I received was titled “Mutton Stew”.

EGG CURRY / BENGALI DIMER DALNA

Website recipe.

This is an easy and delicious use for extra boiled eggs, or a quick dinner where the curry base gets done while the eggs are cooking.

My two changes: I didn’t fry the eggs (I don’t like overcooked boiled eggs and it’s hard enough to make egg curry without that happening as it is), and I didn’t grind the onion but sliced it long and caramelized well as step 1 (I had ground ginger-garlic paste already, and ground onions take a lot longer to cook out than chopped or sliced). Also added a sliced green chilli in addition to the dried for a different flavor of heat (does that make sense?).

Lovely with fresh bread, as also with rice.
