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 perfect for lunch.
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 cooked in the gravy. They will break off, thus thickening the gravy and adding more flavors 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, this is perhaps the easiest one. I know, I say this a lot. But trust me, you just 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.
