Poached Egg Korma – Easy and the Best Egg Recipe

My mom’s specialty korma and my husband’s favorite…

This evening I briefly thought about some of the dishes that I had when I was little. One of the dishes that rang bell in my head was Poached Egg Korma. I have no idea why I haven’t made this dish all these years. Well, I am consoling myself by saying: it’s better late than never. While preparing this dish for tonight’s dinner I reclaimed some fond memories of days gone by. Also, at the dining table I learned that this is one of the favorite egg dishes of my hubby. Now, I have a reason to make this more often.

Poached Egg Korma:

Ingredients:

To grind:

• Grated coconut- 1 cup
• Whole Cinnamon- 2 inch piece
• Fennel powder- 2 tsp

• Water- 3/4 cup

Other ingredients:

• Oil- 2 tbsp
• Onion, chopped small- 1 large
• Eggs- 3 or 4
• Curry leaves- 1 sprig
• Salt- to taste
• Water- 1/2 cup to thin down the gravy

Instruction

1. In a blender, grind the above mentioned ingredients “to grind” to a smooth paste.
2. Place a sauce pan over medium heat, add oil.

12. Open the lid, using a spatula gently try to lift the poached eggs.
13. If it slides onto the spatula smoothly and has thickened, the egg has cooked well.
14. Don’t stir the gravy too much as it will break the eggs.
