Egg Curry Recipe

Egg Curry, made with green herbs and chili paste, coconut milk, lime juice, fresh green chilies, boiled eggs, salt and oil

Eggs don’t need much introduction. They are a universal favorite in every household. From breakfast to supper, eggs appear in countless dishes, whether fried, boiled, or poached. They can be eaten on their own or added into salads, stir-fries, fried rice, noodles, or used as a binding ingredient in side dishes.

 

Among these, boiled eggs often find their way into curries, not just Indian curries, but Thai curries as well. Thai (TOM YUM FISH) curries come in many varieties, including red, yellow, and green, and in the Thai Green Curry, boiled eggs make an ideal combination.

 

For a homemade Thai Green Curry, the essential ingredients - herbs (CURRY LEAF RICE), spices, and chili, are traditionally pounded in a mortar, though blending is more convenient for home cooking. The green curry paste is fried in oil to release its fragrant aroma, then coconut milk, seasoning, and boiled eggs are added to complete the Thai Green Egg Curry.

 

Served generously over rice, the staple food of Thailand, this vibrant, creamy green curry is comforting and flavorful. Bursting with bold, aromatic flavours, this Thai-style egg curry is a dish loved across the world (INDIAN FISH CURRY).
