Another cheat dimer recipe from my kitchen, this egg kosha recipe in Bengali style has sliced boiled eggs stir-fried in a thick & mildly spicy gravy. Perfect as a side dish to rice or rotis, this is one of those quick Bengali egg recipes that are perfect for lunch or dinner.

All you need is to make a thick gravy of your choice, I prefer onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and whole spices. A couple of hard-boiled eggs sliced in quarters and then gently simmered in the gravy. A couple of them might break off but do not worry. They help thicken the gravy and add a ton of flavor to it. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped coriander leaves for a hint of freshness.

Adding this to my collection of egg recipes made in Bengali style is perhaps the easiest one. I know, I say this a lot. But trust me, you cannot make this any easier! Just whip up the gravy with whatever you have on your hand and drop sliced boiled eggs. You cannot go wrong with this.

Egg curry recipe instructions

• Boil the eggs till they are hard-boiled and then slice them in quarters lengthwise. Keep them aside.

• Then add the finely chopped onion, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes. Fry it till it reduces and dries up.
• Add the powdered spices and season with salt.

• Now, drop the sliced eggs and gently turn everything together. Add the ghee and finely chopped coriander leaves and cover for a couple of minutes to cook.

Serving suggestions

This super versatile Bengali egg curry goes equally well with rice as well as rotis or chapatis. However, you can also pair it with simple parathas for a delicious meal. To make the meal healthier you can add a side plate of salad or raita.

I, personally like some kind of chutney with such meals as well. When I am serving this dim er tarkari with rice, I prefer something sweet like Tomato Chutney or Aamer Chutney. With chapatis or rotis, I like something hot and spicy such as Green Chutney made using Mint & Coriander leaves.
