Aloo egg curry or potato egg curry – a simple, easy recipe for beginners. It can be accompanied with any flavored rice, plain rice, roti or chapathi. To get the best taste, I prefer to slow cook this aloo egg curry. You can make this a dry curry or with more gravy as well to suit your taste. Since i made this to go with Jeera rice, this was just fine for us. This is a mildly spiced curry, made with only a few ingredients.You can also use ingredients like kasuri methi or curry leaves for added flavor.

Here are few tips on boiling eggs for beginners.
If refrigerated, always bring eggs to room temperature before boiling to prevent breakage.
Wash eggs and begin to boil them on a medium flame. When the water turns hot, raise the flame to medium high, not very high. Boil until cracks are visible on the shells. Cover and set aside for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the shells and pierce them with a knife or fork randomly several times. If you have trouble peeling the shell, do it under running water or in a bowl of water. You can also try keeping them in cold water for a while and shell them.

13. Stir well. Cover and simmer till it reaches a desired consistency. To make more gravy, you may need to add more water and simmer. You can also add little thick coconut milk and switch off. To make a dry curry, just evaporate the water by cooking further. Serve with plain rice, roti or any flavored rice.

      Happy to know you all liked it.
      Yes you can use omelete to make omelette curry. Just do not over cook it. After the potato is cooked well, then add omelete towards the end.

  19. Hi there I wanted to thank you for your recipe. I had challenged my family that boys can also cook. And tried your recipe of egg curry with potatoes… It sound very funny to them because of its a combination of egg and potatoes.. But I told them “I KNOW WHAT M DOING” and made your recipe… And everything went well while making it.. And everyone congratulated me about it.. But at the end I thought that it’s all because of you.. So I wanted to thank you for your recipe and plz keep posting such recipes… It will surely help one or other.. Again Thank you so much..
