Egg keema | How to make egg kheema curry

By swasthi , on May 21, 2019, 30 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Egg keema recipe – keema or qeema recipe is made using minced meat. This recipe needs boiled egg and no meat is used. Egg keema pairs well with chapathi or plain paratha or plain rice. It also goes on a party menu well as a side to puri or naan. To make this egg keema, i suggest using a good flavorful garam masala powder or meat masala. The flavor and taste of the dish depends on the masala.

How to make egg kheema

1. Boil 4 eggs in a pot. Remove the shell and cut them to small cubes without messing up the yolk much. Set aside. Heat oil and add cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf and cumin. Saute until they begin to crackle.

2. Fry finely chopped onions until slightly golden. *note: finely chopped onions blend well with the keema.

3. Fry ginger garlic paste until the raw smell goes off.

4. Add chopped tomatoes and saute until they turn completely mushy.

5. Add turmeric, chili powder and garam masala or meat masala. I suggest adding coriander powder too if the masala has a very sharp taste. Saute until the raw smell of the red chili powder and tomatoes goes off. I used this homemade garam masala.

6. This step is optional. Green peas or soaked cashews can be used. Saute until the raw smell goes away.

7. Add very little water, salt, handful of pudina and coriander leaves. You can add kasuri methi instead of pudina. Cook until the water almost evaporates and a thick curry base is left. Check the salt if needed add more.

8. Do not add eggs in thin gravy otherwise yolks begin to melt off. Add chopped eggs to thick curry. Stir gently for the masala to coat the egg well. Take care not to stir vigorously else the yolk will begin to turn mushy.
